HUMZA Yousaf has said he is “confident” that SNP members will back his motion on independence strategy ahead of the next General Election.
“So we’re not complacent at all about the threat that other parties pose,” he added.
Earlier, Wishart , MP for Perth and North Perthshire, said it would not be “credible” or “realistic” for the SNP to “try and assert some sort of move towards independence if you're not carrying the majority of people with you".Asked for his response to the MP’s comments, Yousaf said: “Two things, first of all, remember, our Plan A remains, of course, to test the proposition for popular support.
“And the way we'll test it is by the rules of a General Election, he who wins the most seats wins that General Election, that has been the case since records began.
