THE SNP conference has backed Humza Yousaf over his strategy for independence.
THE SNP conference has backed Humza Yousaf over his strategy for independence in the face of the UK Government refusing another referendum.
It currently has 43 MPs, so the party could lose 15 MPs and still claim a mandate for negotiations with the UK Government over Scotland being able to decide on independence. After a lengthy debate, on the opening day of the SNP annual conference, the delegates voted for the plan and rejected needing a majority of the vote and rejected using a majority of votes for all independence-supporting parties as proposed by MP Joanna Cherry.
“This party doesn’t fear democracy we embrace it. The fact Westminster is denying Scotland a referendum shows they fear democracy.”
