Saturday 3rd May marked the one year anniversary of the historic election which saw the SNP take power for the first time. To mark the occasion a day of action was held across the Nation.  The four Glasgow list MSPs Bashir Ahmad, Bob Doris, Bill Kidd and Sandra White campaiged in Buchanan Street.

Bob Doris MSP said: "As an SNP MSP I am proud  to be celebrating the first anniversary of our new SNP government. Glasgow is moving forward and our city has seen real benefit. Our streets will soon see our share of 1,000 new police officers, our students no longer have to pay a £2,289 tuition fee and we can at last start to pay kinship carers what they are due. All this and a Council Tax freeze too.  By the time the Commonwealth Games arrives in 2014, Glasgow will be a transformed city."

Bill Kidd MSP said: "It was a massive honour to stand up at the Prepcom meeting in Geneva and proclaim the Scottish Government's opposition to Nuclear Weapons, especially given Glasgow's proximity to the question. There is now a specifically Scottish voice in the world and I look forward to the next three years with growing optimism. The people of Scotland have put their faith in us and we will continue to deliver."

Sandra White MSP said: "It's been a long fight but here we are at last, delivering for the people of Scotland. We've fulfilled a whole range of manifesto commitments and we're only a year into power.  At last we can address the failings of the last Government by, for example phasing out prescription charges.  The polls tell us that the people are behind us and the next three years will see us continuing to stand up for them."

Bashir Ahmad MSP said: "Glasgow has many diverse communities and I am proud that it's an SNP Government that has funded the children of our city's asylum seekers to go to university for the first time. We also have a concordat with local government which gives them more freedom to point funds at where they are needed most and all this in one year!"
