Maroiogog gives a speech in Musselburgh main square.

​

"Hello everyone, and thank you for being here today.

I am Maroiogog and I am running as an independent candidate for the Scottish Parliament. I have been an independent in British politics for quite a while now, mostly focusing on my work in the House of Lords up until now.

Recently however, I came to the realization that Scottish polics has been deprived of any form of party-detached representation for a while. You see, I believe independents offer the public a valuable alternative to parties, one which is uniquely accountable and direct. You, as voters, can judge me based solely on what I do and on my track record. I can't hide behind leadership changes, changes in governing coalitions and so on like parties do.

You vote for me and me only, based on my work for your community. Parties rely on you voting for them for their ideology, even when their proposed local representatives might not be so keen on "modulating" it to the needs of the different areas of the country. I am not beholdent to anyone and have no reason not to do what I think is best for the communities which give me a seat in Parliament, as I have demonstrated in the past with my work for Surrey.

So, if you want a representative which is wholly accountable to you, consider giving me your vote this Friday."
