Paisley and Renfrewshire: Voting For Serious Change

As part of our coverage of 100 seats in the 100 days before the election, Jim Naughtie visited Paisley and Renfrewshire North and South, which have a Labour majority of 15,000 and 16,000 respectively.

On a nearby University campus, which straddles both constituencies, Lauren Gilmore said 鈥渁fter the referendum, I had something of an identity crisis鈥 but there seems to be a clearer long term picture from Labour鈥.

In a community centre in Ferguslie Park, a housing estate west of Glasgow, he met Billy Clark who runs the centre, who said locals would be voting for change: 鈥淭hey want to bring about the things that they had in the past, first of all employment鈥.

Ahead of the election the Labour message has been 鈥榠f you don't want a Conservative government you've got to vote Labour鈥, whereas the SNP鈥檚 message is 鈥榯he more nationalists there are at Westminster, the more they'll take you seriously鈥.
