What we will do is continue to fight for the democratic right of the people of Scotland to choose their own future – and voting SNP is the only way to lock Nigel Farage out of power in Scotland and secure an independence referendum.
The SNP is clear that the very real threat of a Nigel Farage Reform UK government makes it all the more important that Scotland has a choice over our future with an independence referendum.
The key point I was making, albeit clumsily, is that the SNP will demand Scotland’s democratic right to choose our own future is respected, regardless of who is in government at Westminster.
We absolutely couldn't stand there and say, ‘Well, we could do this or we could do that with them, or we could do that with them, but we don't really like their politics’.
