Minister accuses SNP of misleading voters: They didn't want to tell people what election was about!

Junior Tory minister Douglas Ross has accused SNP of misleading voters during the general election campaign.

The junior minister was speaking during a debate on "Claim of Rights for Scotland", introduced by SNP's Patricia Gibson.

Douglas Ross heckled the election campaign leaflets of the SNP. He told MPs:

"Independence and separation never featured on an SNP leaflet; they did not want to tell people that the election was about that.

Interestingly, a number of SNP MPs who were returned here—and I am looking particularly at the hon. Member for Angus (Dave Doogan), because his letter was put out in the public domain—were writing to Labour supporters to say,

“Vote for me this time; you may be a traditional Labour supporter and a strong Unionist, but vote for me on this occasion not to support separation and independence, but just to stop the Tories getting in.”
