Welcome to TamSmithSNP.info; I'm the Scottish National Party Candidate for Linlithgow and East Falkirk.

This website is designed to keep you informed of the day-to-day activities of my Westminster campaign. Feel free to register for an account, and please don't hesitate to contact me with any queries or concerns you may have.

The phoney war between Labour and the Tories has nothing to offer the people of Scotland and the self-interested politicians of the London parties have even less. For too long, MPs have put their interests before those of their local communities and that has to change.  If elected, I will be your local champion - putting the interests of Linlithgow & East Falkirk first every time.  I will take your voice and your concerns all the way to Westminster whilst never being more than a phone call away.  I promise to give my all to serve everyone in the Linlithgow & Falkirk East Constituency.

Don't vote for a politician - Vote for a local champion. Best wishes, Tam.

Tam Smith

  • Tam Smith : I know full.The trouble is we tend to follow American ways. Ialways have assumed that I belong to the peoples party. I.E. The SNP.As long as we remain so I will be a member.The Scottish Government is so different to Westminster.Thanks for your support. Tam.
  • James Willia : Tam, from an American perspective, please support the people. What is happening in America now is a sham of democratic policies. The people need to be the government, not the representatives. I wish you the best if you have these ideals in mind. I will be praying for you my friend.

SNP "NECK AND NECK" AS POLL GAP CLOSES
New figures show the SNP is closing the gap with Labour in the opinion polls.

Two polls conducted in the last week – one by YouGov for the SNP and the
other by IPSOS MORI put the party neck and neck with Labour.

The YouGov poll for the SNP  puts the party on 35% with Labour on 36%.
While the Ipsos Mori poll conducted at the same time showed the SNP on 34%
to Labour’s 37%.

In all cases the SNP is in a stronger poll position than at this point
prior to the 2007 election.

The IPSOS MORI poll also shows a positive approval rating for Alex Salmond
as Scotland’s First Minister with 53% of Scots endorsing his performance,
while only 33% were satisfied with David Cameron.

SNP Depute Leader and Scotland's Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon

 “This poll shows the SNP is running neck and neck with Labour ahead of
May’s Holyrood elections.

“The SNP Government is proud of the socially progressive polices that we
have already introduced, such as abolishing prescription charges, ending
tolls on the Tay and Forth bridges, restoring free education by abolishing
the Graduate Endowment Fee, freezing the Council Tax for three successive
years, reversing Labour’s decision to close A & E hospitals in Monklands
and Ayr, introducing the Small Business Bonus Scheme, and putting 1,000
additional police officers on Scotland’s streets.

“With a Tory – Lib Dem government pushing Labour’s devastating cuts agenda
even further and a Labour party out of power and increasingly out of
touch, we are confident that, come May, voters will see that it is the SNP
as a party and a Government that can and will put Scotland’s interests and
the priorities of the people of Scotland first.

 “The positive approval ratings for Alex Salmond, against the extremely
negative reaction to David Cameron, shows that, as Scotland deals with
the impact of a Tory Government in London, voters continue to trust Alex
Salmond to govern in Scotland's best interests.”

First Minister calls for North Sea taxation to be devolved

First Minister Alex Salmond has called for North Sea taxation to be devolved to Holyrood arguing that Scotland should start to benefit from its vast resources.

The establishment of a Norwegian-style oil fund would deliver billions of pounds of benefits to Scotland, First Minister Alex Salmond said in Oslo today.

Following a meeting with the Norwegian Finance Minister Sigbjørn Johnsen, Mr Salmond highlighted the case for devolving control of North Sea taxation and production to the Scottish Parliament so that Scotland can 'directly reap the benefits' of its vast natural energy resources.

Norway's oil fund is worth over £300 billion and in the UK £242 billion of tax revenue has come from Scottish waters over the past 30 years.

During their meeting at the Finance Ministry in Oslo, Mr Salmond and Mr Johnsen discussed the Norwegian Oil Fund, the benefits it has secured for Norwegians and lessons Scotland can learn from the way their fund is managed and operated.

The First Minister is in Norway to explore how Scottish and Norwegian Governments can deepen co-operation on energy matters.

First Minister Alex Salmond said:
"Norway has much in common with Scotland - we have a similar-sized population and are both rich in natural energy resources that have the capacity to deliver vast benefits to our citizens.

"The Scottish Government is working to strengthen economic links with this successful European country and shares its vision of having an Oil Fund that utilises the resources we have now, to leave a sustainable lasting legacy for future generations.

"Norway's oil fund is worth over £300 billion and a similar scheme for Scotland would help secure billions of pounds for our communities. More than £240 billion of tax revenue has come directly from Scottish waters over the past 30 years and it is only fair that Scots should reap the rewards of our rich energy resources.

"Investing a portion of North Sea revenues in an oil fund could provide greater stability, protect the economy and support the creation of a low carbon economy. I am keen for Scotland to learn from Norway and to experience the benefits of investing a share of energy revenues into a fund that provides a permanent source of wealth for our nation."
