Your SNP Candidate: Annabelle Ewing
SNP broadcast "We've got what it takes"
As SNP MP for Perth (2001-2005), Annabelle Ewing earned the reputation as a spirited campaigner on issues such as Hepatitis C compensation, Deepcut and the Black Watch. In 2005, radical boundary changes saw Labour take the seat with a mere 688 majority over the SNP, with the Tories trailing well behind in third place. This time, a swing of under 1% to the SNP is required to oust Labour and elect a hardworking MP who will fight for you and ensure that Scotland's voice is heard at Westminster. Annabelle Ewing knows that local charities are the backbone of our communities—and she’s ready to help them secure the funding they need.
