EDINBURGH Western may be a tough seat for the SNP to take, but Sarah Masson believes being the only pro-EU candidate could secure her the win. The 28-year-old is up against incumbent LibDem Alex Cole-Hamilton, 43, who was elected in 2016 with a majority of only 2960 votes. The seat has historically been LibDem in four out of five elections since devolution, except for when it was taken by Colin Keir for the SNP in 2011, and is one of the key battlegrounds that could secure a pro-independence majority in Holyrood. SNP candidate Sarah Masson stood in the seat in the 2019 General Election, finishing second with 33% of the vote, and said she has been getting “incredible feedback” on First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s handling of the pandemic now restrictions have lifted and door-to-door campaigning has begun.
