Local Government elections
Thursday 3rd May 2012
Scottish Conservative and Unionist
Dear Resident
Having been selected as your
Scottish Conservative and
Unionist Candidate for
Craigentinny and Duddingston, it
would be a privilege to serve as
your Councillor in the enlarged
Ward.
From talking to many of you, I
myself understand that many are
disillusioned by the lack of
strong leadership and
accountability in the City
Council.
I believe that local politics is
about getting things done in the
community in which we live and I
have been working hard to take
up issues which residents have
raised and have a track record
of local action. I would be
honoured if you felt able to
support me at this election so
that together we can make the
communities in the Craigentinny
and Duddingston Ward a better
place to live.
With best wishes,
Jason Lingiah

A referendum on Scottish independence is now certain to take
place over the next two and a halfyears, and a victory for the SNP
at the Council elections would be claimed by them to be a vote
tobreak up Britain.
We need to use the elections on 3rd May to make a stand against
separatism and to haltthe SNPs campaign to tear Scotland out of the
Union.
By voting Conservative at the Council elections you can send the
clearest possible message that wereject the SNPs separatist agenda
and that Scotland wants to remain a full partner in our
UnitedKingdom.
Use your vote on 3 May to keep Scotland in the United
Kingdom
All candidates will offer you their earnest endeavours in a
campaignbut I am convinced that Jason will be as good as his word
to improvethe community we live in.
