Chance to change country's course

2026 is a year of opportunity.

- BY WEST SCOTLAND MSP NEIL BIBBY

Anas Sarwar launched Labour's Scottish Election campaign last week

A chance not just to change ourselves but a chance to change the course of our country for years to come with the resolve to make Scotland a better place to live.

In May, we face the Scottish Parliament elections and an opportunity for us to have a new government at Holyrood for the first time in nearly 20 years.

It is an opportunity we must grasp with both hands.

Holyrood has control over most of the things that decide how we live our daily lives.

The doctors’ surgeries, hospitals and clinics we need when we are sick.

The schools our children learn in and the colleges and universities many aspire to.

Holyrood controls housing, policing and our courts system.

This is about the future of Scotland. About how you and I, our loved ones and our communities, live.
