Glasgow North Constituency - Patrick Grady
|
Independence for Scotland is the biggest and best idea in modern politics. |
Patrick moved to Glasgow from Inverness in 1997 to study History at the University of Strathclyde. After spending a few years living and working in Africa and London, he returned to Glasgow in 2007 and currently works as a policy officer in the Scottish Parliament.
Since joining the SNP at the age of 17, Patrick has held a variety of posts including National Secretary of the Federation of Student Nationalists, and was recently elected Convenor of Glasgow Kelvin SNP Constituency Association.
Scotland is moving forward under the SNP - and at the next Westminster election, people in Glasgow North have the chance to elect a representative who shares their vision and ambition for our country.
Glasgow North Westminster Constituency covers a large area to the north-west of the city, spread over the River Kelvin and taking the communities of Maryhill, Summerston, Gilsochill, Ruchill, Kelvindale, Kelvinside, Hillead, Hyndland and Partick.
The vibrant and diverse population of the constituency include some of Scotland's poorest as well as some of its wealthiest residents.
The SNP's strong showing in the Kelvin and Maryhill seats at the 2007 Scottish Parliament election puts the party in an excellent position to win Glasgow North at the next Westminster election. |
