THE SNP’s most senior MP has said a victory for the de facto referendum should include votes for any party prepared to stand in the next General Election on the issue of Scottish independence.
Pete Wishart also warned the de facto referendum will be a “massive gamble” for the independence campaign, but the only other option is to “give up” and have constitutional deadlock continue.
The MP for Perth and North Perthshire also discounted the idea of attempting to dissolve Holyrood and call an early Scottish election for the de facto referendum, saying this would only lead to a backlash and “First Minister Douglas Ross”.
