Scotland’s public services should take centre stage in the May 3 election, not constitutional issues, according to UNISON general secretary Dave Prentice.
UNISON is Scotland’s biggest public sector union and Prentice, speaking
ahead of the STUC congress in Glasgow beginning today, said the
electorate is also more concerned about the provision of public
services than constitutional matters like independence.
Prentice said:
“It is important that we refocus the election campaign away from issues
of the constitution and towards issues that really matter, and which
recent BBC polls have told us are the most important issue for the
Scots electorate - the provision of services on which individuals,
families and communities depend, and how those are delivered.
“The Scots electorate have, like UNISON, rejected the argument that it
does not matter who delivers their services. Indeed it is rather like
arguing that it does not matter who is elected on 3 May. It matters a
great deal.”
