Humza Yousaf sets out SNP election plan to end ‘Westminster roadblock’ to independence
Humza Yousaf has rejected calls for the SNP to need to secure more than half of all votes cast north of the border in the next general election to start independence negotiations with Westminster.
The SNP leader and Scotland’s First Minister, insisted that adopting this de facto referendum approach - that had been favoured by his predecessor Nicola Sturgeon - would see the party “setting ourselves a bar no other party sets itself”.
Speaking as his party debated its strategy for independence at their annual conference in Aberdeen, Yousaf said the current “Westminster roadblock” to holding a second referendum required the SNP to “use the next general election to put independence front and centre”.
The proposal would see the Scottish Government “begin immediate negotiations with the UK Government to give democratic effect to Scotland becoming an independent country” if the party wins the most seats in Scotland in the next general election, which is expected to take place some time next year.
