If we get a hung parliament and people see that the parties can’t form a government, you have another election.
Absolutely not … Conservatives believe in free speech, where people are welcome to criticise us as much as they like.
If you want a peace, you have to prepare for war. And I believe that strong countries don’t get attacked.
But I do feel the pull to Scotland because I see it as a place that should be more conservative than it is. I see it as a place that feels like it gets ignored by Westminster.
