'I know people are angry about the recent events in the Westminster parliament but it is important that we don't 'throw the baby out with the bathwater'. Representation in the European Parliament is vital to our future and a protest vote for isolationist candidates will not be good for the success and sustainability of these islands.'

'We need a representative, skilled in the ways of politics, and with knowledge of our needs.'

'The Liberal Democrats have a strong track record in Europe and George Lyon, an island farmer, understands our needs.'

'Scotland and the UK as a whole cannot fight the big issues alone. Co-operation with our neighbours is vital. We are stronger together, poorer apart. Stronger together on crime, stronger together on climate change and stronger together on the economy.'

'Postal ballots have now arrived and election day is next Thursday 4th June. I hope everyone will exercise their right to be heard and that you will make the right decision to support the future of the Western Isles'.
