Paisley and Renfrewshire: Voting For Serious Change
As part of our coverage of 100 seats in the 100 days before the election, Jim Naughtie visited Paisley and Renfrewshire North and South, which have a Labour majority of 15,000 and 16,000 respectively.
On a nearby University campus, which straddles both constituencies, Lauren Gilmore said “after the referendum, I had something of an identity crisis… but there seems to be a clearer long term picture from Labour”.
In a community centre in Ferguslie Park, a housing estate west of Glasgow, he met Billy Clark who runs the centre, who said locals would be voting for change: “They want to bring about the things that they had in the past, first of all employment”.
Ahead of the election the Labour message has been ‘if you don't want a Conservative government you've got to vote Labour’, whereas the SNP’s message is ‘the more nationalists there are at Westminster, the more they'll take you seriously’.
