Summary
First Minister John Swinney is rallying Aberdeen South voters to back the SNP in a by-election, framing it as a fight against Westminster’s exploitation of Scotland’s energy wealth — a decades-long drain that’s cost jobs and driven up bills. Swinney argues only the SNP can put Scotland’s energy future in Scottish hands, positioning independence as the ultimate solution to end what he calls a “Westminster rip off.” Meanwhile, the Scottish Conservatives are pushing back fiercely, accusing the SNP of damaging the oil and gas sector with anti-drilling policies, costing thousands of jobs and threatening energy security — and warning voters that choosing anyone but their candidate, Douglas Lumsden, means continuing what they call the SNP’s “failed” energy agenda.
