The BBC is holding a debate between the five main party leaders in Scotland tonight.
Here is Alex Cole-Hamilton’s opening statement:
“People ask me why I’m always smiling – why, when politics is such a serious business the Liberal Democrats seem to enjoy it so much.
“Well, the simple reason is we love what we do. Serving our communities is why we get up in the morning.
“In the next Parliament we’ll be working for a better Britain, to restore your faith in politics and fix our broken relationship with Europe.
“We’ll get you fast access to GPs and dentists, and give our nation’s carers a fair deal.
“We’ll stop sewage being dumped in our rivers, and deliver world class education.
“Only the Scottish Liberal Democrats can beat the SNP in huge swathes of Scotland, from Cupar to Cape Wrath, Milngavie to Mallaig, Cramond to Kirkwall.
“Hope and change are just around the corner, you only need to vote for them.”
