Alex Salmond: This election cannot decide independence
Former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond has told ѿý Radio 5 live that voters should choose the SNP even if they were against Scottish independence.
The SNP candidate for Gordon said his party “[provided] the voice for Scotland” and were the “only real opposition to the Tory government at Westminster”.
Mr Salmond added that the 2017 general election would not be about Scottish independence:
“This election cannot decide independence. Independence will be decided by a referendum”, he said.
