Nicola Sturgeon has called on Scots to turn Westminster’s green benches tartan at the forthcoming General Election.
And in a New Year message to party members, the First Minister made it clear the price for SNP support in the event of a hung parliament in May will be scrapping the next generation of Trident nuclear weapons.
The SNP leader has stepped up the SNP election campaign with a letter accompanying the party’s first advert of the year which shows tartan seats in the House of Commons
Despite the letter going to party members she’s used it to urge all Scots to vote SNP in May to “make Scotland’s voice heard”.
Sturgeon ruled out using her MPs to support a minority Conservative administration in Westminster. She wrote: “The SNP will never put the Tories into government.
“But a strong team of SNP MPs will also mean that Labour can’t take Scotland for granted any more.”
She called for an end to austerity, more powers for Holyrood and said the SNP would make the next Westminster government “think again about putting a new generation of Trident nuclear weapons on the River Clyde”.
