Euan Hyslop is a local businessman who is also a councillor in the area, and he thinks it is the fact that he is a local man that will get him elected in Edinburgh West.
He believes that voters are ready for change and that it is only the SNP who can offer that – particularly in the west of the city where the Liberal Democrats have such a “vice grip on politics”.
He said: “I know a lot of people, and I think a lot of people are going to be excited to feel that they could actually have an option on the ballot paper for somebody who is very into politics is very much rooted in the community.
“And that person not only understands the challenges that we face here in West Edinburgh, because of listening to people, but also because their lived experience very much reflects the lived experience of people across the communities of West Edinburgh.”
