I take responsibility for everything that happens in the SNP as leader.

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.

When you're a leader, you cannot ignore parts of your constituency, even if you know they're not going to vote for you.

My pledge to you is that the SNP will put women and gender equality right at the heart of the Westminster agenda.

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.

I hope nobody in England is afraid of the SNP - there is absolutely no need to be.

I don't always vote in general elections, but I think I've always voted Labour.

I was fascinated, long before I joined the SNP, in the world around me; current affairs really interested me.

I have considered voting Conservative because I am so against the Labour party.

In the political world, the only position I have is voter. I'm not a spokesman for anything.
