THE leader of the Scottish LibDems has said Scotland is in the “end game of the clash of nationalisms” as he launched his party’s campaign for the 2027 council elections.
In his first conference speech as leader, Alex Cole-Hamilton made overt entreaties to Scottish Green voters, launched a commission on male violence – to be chaired by deputy leader and former police officer Wendy Chamberlain – and announced a goal of returning 150 councillors in the next local government elections in just under five years’ time.
Cole-Hamilton, who is one of the party’s four MSPs at Holyrood, said: “We will lift our vote across the country and in each of the coming parliamentary elections by starting our campaign for the 2027 council elections right here, right now.
