Polling day message from the SNP

SNP Candidate in the Glasgow East by-election Cllr John Mason today cast his ballot as he urged people across the constituency to send a strong message to Gordon Brown with a vote for the SNP on polling day.

Heading into the polling station in Barlanark Cllr Mason said: "I urge everyone in Glasgow East, young and old, to go to your polling station today, cast your vote for the SNP and send a strong message to Gordon Brown that it's time for a fair share for the East End.

"Glasgow East deserves a real local MP to make your voice heard in Westminster.

"It's a beautiful day, there is a feel-good factor in the air and people across this constituency will be using today as their opportunity to send a message to Gordon Brown.

"It has been a privilege to campaign across the Glasgow East constituency and it will be an honour to be chosen to serve as the MP for Glasgow East, to represent the many people I have met on the doorsteps, in the shopping centres and at community organisations across the constituency.

"Send a message to Gordon Brown, vote SNP today."
