SNP will form the real opposition to the Tories, says Angus Robertson
The SNP will be the “real and effective” opposition to the Conservatives, the party’s Westminster leader has said.
With Labour searching for a new leader since Ed Miliband’s resignation, Angus Robertson said the SNP would be a strong voice for people in Scotland and across the UK.
The SNP are now the third-biggest party in the House of Commons with 56 MPs taking their seats when parliament resumes this week.
Robertson said: “For the sake of people in Scotland and across the UK, it is vital that there is a strong and effective opposition to the Tory government at Westminster – and that is a responsibility the SNP are ready and willing to discharge.
“We will work in partnership with the Scottish government and members of the Scottish parliament, and are prepared to reach out across party lines at Westminster.
“Indeed, I believe that the SNP will form the real opposition to the Tories. Labour are leaderless at Westminster and mired in a leadership crisis in Scotland, but the issue is deeper than that.”
