Well done Zoe Hisbent for Glenrothes West & Kinglassie 👏👏👏 a clear message from the people of Glenrothes, Councillor walker demands better for Fife.
Delighted with Zoe Hisbent for Glenrothes West & Kinglassie resounding SNP win in the by-election last night. I'm delighted for her, her campaign team and the SNP activists who worked so hard, often in very difficult weather conditions during the campaign.
In my post on Wednesday (below) I asked voters in the ward to send a clear message that they no longer have faith in Labour running Fife Council with only 18 councillors. No faith in the Tories and Liberal Democrats who are keeping them in power with their votes and no faith in Reform UK and their empty protest politics. The voters of Glenrothes West and Kinglassie have now sent a message loud and clear.
The SNP have now comprehensively won three council by-elections in Fife in the last 10 months, It is clear, as it was in 2022, that the people of Fife want the SNP to be the party that runs Fife Council.
Labour cannot continue to run away and ignore the verdict of the public any longer.
The parties that prop Labour up cannot ignore the verdict of the people any longer and we must not allow Reform UK to hold the balance of power as they now do in Fife House.
David Ross and Fife Labour must acknowledge that their support from the public across the Kingdom is at an all time low. They are no longer trusted, they are not the democratic voice of Fife Council, and they have no moral or electoral authority to continue in administration.
They should now do the honourable thing - step aside and allow the SNP, who have a democratic mandate, to form an adminstration which will put the interests of Fifers first.
