Oil & Gas capital of Europe


The capital of the Northeast is Europes oil and gas capital, the glorious city of Aberdeen.


Aberdeen's economic wellbeing is consistently being challenged by the SNP/Green Scottish government's persistent underfunding of our area, and consistent threats to our energy sector, with the First Minister saying he was, "disappointed” to see the Rosebank field approved, despite it securing hundreds of jobs, and benefiting our longterm energy security measures; and not least, reducing our carbon emissions by using locally sourced energy, not imported.


Locally, the Libdems are in a coalition of chaos, propping up a failing SNP group makling bizarre decisions that negatively effect Aberdeen, closing swimming pools and cutting library services, creating traffic chaos with roadworks, bus gates and ULEZ.


There is only one group that is standing up for Aberdeen and the Northeast; only one group that defends the benefits we have in the union; and only one group that appears to understand net zero and the energy transition. They are the Conservative and Unionist party and Aberdeen City Council they are:
