We asked each of the candidates in Angus:

What is the best and worst thing from 10 years of the SNP in power?

-

William Campbell Labour

A decade of SNP government has been a decade of division.

Nicola Sturgeon has broken her promise to make education her number one priority, instead focusing on her plans for another independen­ce referendum.

The most welcome change in the last decade has been the introducti­on of gay marriage in Scotland.

Kirstene Hair Conservati­ves

After 10 years of SNP rule, our education system is going backwards, our health service is struggling to cope with rising demand and our economy is lagging behind the rest of the UK.

By any measure, the SNP is not delivering on these key areas. The only upside I can see is that voters are increasing­ly coming across to the Conservati­ves.

Clive Sneddon Liberal Democrats

Under pressure from the Liberal Democrats, the SNP eventually gave in and introduced free childcare for two-year-olds.

The worst thing has been the steady process of taking powers away from local people and centralisi­ng them in the hands of SNP ministers.

Michael Weir SNP

The SNP has a decade of delivery for Scotland and has introduced progressiv­e policies that benefit people from all walks of life, including free prescripti­ons, record council house building and the scrapping of tuition fees.

The worst thing about the last 10 years is being prevented from doing even more to help our nation flourish by the restricted powers of the Scottish Parliament and the intransige­nt attitude of the increasing­ly hard right Tory government.
