Alastair Redman - "Conservatives and Liberal Democrats have worked well together in government over the last five years.
Both parties believe in the importance of bringing the deficit under control, getting people back into work and cutting taxes for the lowest paid.
But the simple truth is that the Lib Dems are finished in Scotland. Poll after poll shows the same thing - a comprehensive collapse in support in every part of the country.
The Scottish Conservatives and Unionists are now the natural home for people who want to see the recovery continue up and Scotland to remain a proud part of our United Kingdom."
