The SNP MP claimed Westminster had ‘shafted’ young people.
The party’s Deputy Westminster Leader wrote an open letter to young people
She claimed the new voter ID law which will be implemented for the first time in Scotland in the South Lanarkshire seat was designed “to stop eligible voters from having their say at elections”, disproportionately impacting young people. “In Scotland, the SNP has achieved so much for young people: scrapping tuition fees, free bus travel for under-22s, rent controls to give more rights to tenants and delivered real action on the climate crisis as one of the first nations to declare a global climate emergency.“Young people deserve so much more than a narrow choice between red Tories and blue Tories.She also hit out at the Westminster system, saying: “Bluntly, Westminster has shafted young people across Scotland.
“These once-in-a-lifetime opportunities were snatched away from young people by Westminster while our colleges, universities and businesses suffered too.” “The SNP can try to deny it all they want, but the fact is that young people are being failed by both the Tories and the SNP.
