Donald Cameron re-elected to Scottish Parliament

DC Thanks

Donald Cameron has been re-elected to the Scottish Parliament.

Donald said "It is an absolute honour and privilege to return as MSP for the Highlands and Islands (one of the greatest jobs in the world).

"In Argyll and Bute, I am pleased to move into second place with a 3% increase in vote share and 0.3% swing from SNP. We are now the main and only challenger.

"I am incredibly grateful to everyone across Argyll and Bute who supported me at the election, and to everyone across the whole of the Highlands and Islands region who voted for the Scottish Conservatives. We now have a record four MSPs representing the region, our highest number of votes in the region ever, and our best ever result in Argyll and Bute.

"Now, the hard work begins. The political priority of us all now has to be bringing Scotland out of this horrific pandemic and addressing the many problems that arise.

"Nothing else matters."
