Rather, at the Edinburgh gathering, the party vowed a “laser-like focus on the real priorities of the Scottish public”.
The main points of its manifesto ahead of the general election on July 4 include hiring 1,000 more medical practitioners and police officers, repairing rural trunk roads, “backing teachers to teach and increasing subject choices for pupils,” and reducing national insurance and income tax.
The Tories also declared that if they win the election next month, they would cut the intermediate income tax rate by 1p. Currently, Scots pay 21p in the pound on wages between £26,562 and £43,662.
Douglas Ross, the leader of the party, stated, “We are at a crossroads. “Either we can carry on down the same path we have taken since the 2014 independence referendum, or we can spend an additional five years engaging in the same old, stale discussion.
Or, as a country, we can decide to choose a different path. to resolve the day-to-day problems that people in Scotland encounter and, at last, put an end to the ten years of division.”
He stated that the manifesto “provides solutions to the problems caused by years of SNP incompetence and poor decision-making” .
Mr. Ross said, “We are dedicated to addressing the issues of long wait times in Scotland’s NHS by hiring 1,000 additional general practitioners, the crisis in Scottish policing by hiring 1,000 additional officers, and renovating our schools.”
