Contact your candidates: BASC launches election platforms
BASC has launched its election platforms for the forthcoming Senedd and Scottish Parliament elections, calling on members to contact prospective candidates and make their voices heard.
With voters set to go to the polls on 7 May, the platforms provide a simple way for members to engage directly with those standing for election and ask them to set out their position on sustainable shooting.
Each platform includes a pre-prepared template letter that members can send to candidates in their area, making it quick and easy to seek clear answers on where they stand.
The initiative aims to ensure that future Members of the Senedd and Scottish Parliament understand the value of sustainable shooting and the role it plays in delivering environmental, economic and social benefits.
Make your voice heard today
BASC is encouraging all members to take part by contacting candidates and asking for clear commitments on the future of sustainable shooting.
By engaging now, members can help ensure that shooting is properly represented and considered by decision-makers in the next parliament.
The election platforms are now live:
- Senedd election platform
- Scottish Parliament election platform
