Darren Watt for Cowdenbeath Constituency

09/04/2026

💙 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.

⬇️ We have been badly let down by the SNP at Holyrood.

❗ The Cowdenbeath constituency faces urgent problems that have been neglected for too long, including lengthy delays in accessing appointments with our G.P, relentless antisocial behaviour on our streets, and a rise in violence and disruption in our schools.

📉 I know our communities and, like you, I see the pressures and challenges our families, schools, NHS and local businesses face every day.

✅ If elected as your MSP, my absolute focus will be on addressing these problems and improving the quality of life for everyone in our area.

Our common-sense manifesto is ambitious, credible and costed.

▶️ The focus should be on the issues that matter most to people.

🛑 The Scottish Conservatives stopped an SNP majority in 2016 and 2021, and were a strong opposition in Holyrood both terms.

🗳️ We can do so again, but only if you vote for me and the Scottish Conservatives on May 7th.
