Ruth Davidson was accompanied by Conservative MSPs for Scotland South as she canvassed in the electoral region.

Securing our Streets: “Through their inaction against crime and preoccupation with a second referendum, the SNP have kept their eyes off the ball when it comes to crime. If we’re elected, our top priorities in tackling crime will be ending the soft-touch approach to crime and ensuring that sentences are tough and a real deterrent. We’ll stop the automatic early release of criminals so that parole is earned and not just given freely, end the presumption in our justice system that short sentences and community service are the best way to tackle crime, and allow judges to say that life means life for the worst offenders.”

Strengthening our Communities: “It has been the most vulnerable in Scottish society who have suffered from the incompetence and sleaze that has enveloped the SNP and fully distracted them from the work of government. A Conservative government will declare war on child poverty in Scotland, working towards full employment, funding the building of over 40,000 new homes for social renters, and boosting the Child Payment to £20 a week. We’ll create a national taskforce to help develop a support package for young carers, whilst relaxing rules around Carer’s Allowance to extend the payment for six months after a bereavement and ensuring that nobody loses their allowance for their income only just exceeding the threshold. Finally, we will end rough sleeping by the end of this Parliament, and create a Help to Rent scheme that provides a pathway into private renting for those who cannot currently afford to.”

Defending our Democracy: “Nicola Sturgeon has been forced to call this election because of the endemic sleaze and rot that has enveloped the Scottish Government after thirteen years of SNP rule. Such was the extent of this sleaze, Nicola Sturgeon herself has been found guilty of breaching the ministerial code: the most grievous offence any politician can be guilty of. The Scottish Conservatives want to clean up Holyrood, and if we are elected we will order an inquiry into this whole affair, which has cost you at least £500,000 and has led to too many women suffering. We will also give you the power to sack your MSP if they are found guilty of a crime, break the public’s trust or fail to show up to work for longer than six months. And, of course, we will defend Scottish democracy by opposing any attempt by the SNP and their puppets in the Greens to spit on the democratic will of the Scottish people and push through a second independence referendum.


Leaflet
Emblazoned clearly on each leaflet, next to photos of local constituency candidates and those on the regional list is:

“Use your PEACH VOTE for the Scottish Conservative and Unionists and Ruth Davidson as First Minister, and your LAVENDER VOTE for your local Conservative candidate”

Securing our Streets
- TOUGHER SENTENCES: Ending automatic early release, advocating against short sentences and ensuring that life means life for the worst offenders
- VICTIMS LAW: Allowing the voices of all victims to be heard, ending the Not Proven verdict and giving victims more legal power to challenge court decisions.
- LOCAL POLICING: Ensuring that communities are properly policed, investing in police infrastructure and reviewing Police Scotland’s capabilities as a whole.

Strengthening our Communities
- CHILD POVERTY: Working towards full employment, building 45,000 new social homes and increasing Child Payment to £20 a week
- UNPAID CARERS: Creating a national taskforce for young carers, and relaxing Carer’s Allowance rules.
- HOMELESSNESS: Ending rough sleeping by the end of this Parliament, and creating a Help to Rent scheme to help people gain a foothold in the private rented sector

Defending our Democracy
- SALMOND INQUIRY: Creating a judge-led inquiry into the Alex Salmond affair, focusing on the failures of the Scottish Government and lessons that can be learned for the future
- RECALL PETITIONS: Voters will be empowered to sack their MSPs if they break the law, undermine public trust or fail to show up to work.
- PREVENT INDYREF 2: Scottish Conservatives will protect our place in the Union and prevent Scotland’s democratic decision in 2014 from being overturned.
