Katy Gordon, Liberal Democrat challenger in Glasgow North, has won the backing of Scottish literary giant Alasdair Gray to beat Labour in the General Election.
Mr Gray, who has voted for the SNP in the past, has switched his support to the Liberal Democrats due to Ms Gordon's strong track record of community campaigning.
Mr Gray joins Cllr Alex Dingwall in rejecting the SNP in favour of a party that can win in Glasgow North.
Commenting, Ms Gordon said:
"I'm delighted to have Alisdair's support.
"He recognises that only the Liberal Democrats can beat Labour in Glasgow North.
"This is an invitation to all SNP supporters who want a hard working local champion to join with Alasdair and vote for the Liberal Democrats.
Alasdair Gray added:
"Katy Gordon will have my vote because there is a good chance of her defeating the Labour candidate, and the Labour Party is now thoroughly corrupted.
"As a community campaigner she has fought against plans to throw Otago Lane into the hands of property developers, and helped to save local post offices while Labour has stood by and done nothing."
Notes:
Councillor Alex Dingwall defected from the SNP to the Liberal Democrats in February 2010.
