Talking about the unjust system of local taxation, Knightswood Park candidate Graeme Hendry commented:

"It punishes the low paid and the elderly and the SNP will end this shameful tax. The Labour Scottish Executive refuses to ditch the Council Tax, and the Labour Party in Glasgow set the highest tax in Glasgow. The voters of Knightswood Park can put a nail in the coffin of the Council Tax by rejecting New Labour on November 10th, and voting SNP." 

The SNP would replace the Council Tax with a Local Income Tax, based on people's ability to pay.
