Dear friends and fellow nationalists,
This is the most critical election in our country’s history. Our parliament is under threat, our democracy undermined, and economy damaged. We need independence and fast, this is the time for change we cannot allow a Boris Johnson Veto.
Political Experience.
I have taken major roles in all elections since joining the SNP in 2009.
• Candidate In 2012 Council Elections in Gilmerton Ward
• Candidate in the Westminster Elections in 2015
• Candidate in the Holyrood Elections in 2016, presently second in line on the Lothian list.
• Organiser SNP Edinburgh Eastern Branch
• Organiser SNP Gilmerton Branch
• Currently Membership Secretary Gilmerton Branch
• Director at ELREC (Edinburgh and Lothians Regional Equality Council)
• President of SAFI Edinburgh (Scots Asians For Independence)
Independence
I was very actively involved in the independence referendum in 2014. I organised events to raise funds for the YES campaign. Some of these events were attended by Nicola Sturgeon & Alex Salmond. I put in a lot of hard work during the referendum, Leafleting, canvassing, chapping doors, organising YES stalls and much more. I hope to achieve this level of hard work again if elected and use this energy to fight for an independence referendum.
During the independence campaign, seeing the huge numbers of people coming together from diverse backgrounds was really heart-warming and I was encouraged to see how everyone helped each other, which is the future I envision if elected.
This election must be a mandate for independence, and I commit to ensuring that it’s the Scottish people who will decide our future and not Westminster, the gloves must come off, our destiny must be in our hands.
