conference getting under way today will be one of the “most important in years” for the party, with a need to decide onThe First Minister sent a warning message to those “causing divisions” in the SNP, saying that it risks not just support for the party but destabilising the “entire cause of independence”.
He said: “I say that not just because of the criticality of setting a coherent strategy for the General Election, but it is so important in order to come out of that conference united. I can’t stress that strongly enough. “Conference has always been a jubilant mood because people view ourselves – rightly, I think – as a family,” he said.
“We don’t take that for granted, we are not complacent about it, but we are a party that still enjoys the biggest mass membership of any political party in the country. To see off the challenge from Labour, Yousaf said it was vital that – once that debate on this is over – the party moves on from talking about process to start taking about policy.
In his conference speech on Tuesday, he said he will highlight what the SNP have delivered – but also emphasise that they must continue to do so. “I want to make a speech that gets our troops motivated, but it also is a speech that has some serious substance and policy content, too.”
