On April 17th, Scottish Lib Dem leader, Alex Cole Hamilton, just dropped their 96-page manifesto, titled Change with Fairness at Its Heart, and Edinburgh launched ahead of the May 7th Holy Root election. The big pushes on healthcare fixes, like pumping 400 million pounds into social care to cut hospital delays and hiring clinical pros like physios and mental health experts to team up with GPs and lighten their load. They're calling themselves the party of mental health, promising more dentist training spots, and better NHS access to weight loss drugs. On schools, they want 2,000 new pupil support assistance to help kids thrive. Meanwhile, Cole Hamilton's tackling the cost of living squeeze with an emergency home insulation drive, plus fast tracking smart heating and solar, panels to slash energy bills. He's also eyeing a custom UK EU Customs Union to mend Scotland's Europe ties and boost trade. The Lib Dems aim to double their MSP numbers and flex in budget talks, throwing out ideas
on safer roads and top tier education. With SNP's manifesto fresh yesterday, the campaign's heating up fast. As parties hustle for votes, keep watching how these fairness-focused pledges shake up the race, Scotland's future hangs in the balance.
