A senior SNP MP has said that the party should treat every election as a de-facto independence referendum.
Perth and North Perthshire MP Pete Wishart said "the referendum route to independence is now dead" and that every election should "become a verdict on independence".
Former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon had said that the party would use the next general election as a de-facto independence referendum after the Supreme Court ruled that the UK Government must grant Scotland the power to hold a vote on independence.
