Vote SNP for a party that always stands up for Scotland, that is stronger for Scotland, and a government that will keep the country moving in the right direction.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want to change Scotland, but the only way we can change Scotland is by changing the Scottish Labour Party.
I'm the leader of the SNP. I think you would expect me to say I would vote SNP in whatever constituency I lived in.
I am wholeheartedly in favour of an independent Scotland.
When New Labour came to power, we got a Right-wing Conservative government. I came to realise that voting Labour wasn't in Scotland's interests any more. Any doubt I had about that was cast aside for ever when I saw Gordon Brown cosying up to Margaret Thatcher in Downing Street.
We have a Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales, both elected by fairer votes - involving proportional representation.
Labour's support in Scotland depends on their ability to be electable. If they are divided and unelectable, what's the point?
I'll be arguing for Scotland to vote to stay in the E.U.
I think Scotland will become an independent country. I've always believed that. It means that if I'm right on that, there has to be another referendum at some stage. But the timing and circumstances of that will require careful judgment.
The SNP became a minority government in 2007, then a majority one in 2011. But Labour viewed what was happening as some kind of aberration. They felt the problem wasn't theirs: they didn't have to change; the Scottish people had just gone down this wrong road, and if they waited long enough, they would find their way back.
The Scottish Labour Party and its renewal are more important than me.
