Keith Brown put the onus on Labour the Conservatives to respect the outcome of the next election.
The SNP’s deputy leader says his party would still have a mandate for independence negotiations if it won the most seats in Scotland on fewer votes than in the previous election.
It called on the Scottish Government to begin immediate negotiations with Westminster if the party wins a "majority "of seats north of the border in the next general election. He was asked if there would still be a mandate if the SNP won fewer seats than in the 2019 election, but still a majority of constituencies north of the border.
“And if we do that, then we will enter independence negotiations and set in train in other processes, which will lead to Scotland taking a different path from the rest of the UK.”
