Joanna Cherry was one of dozens of Nationalists to lose their seats in the early hours of July 5.
Nicola Sturgeon owes the SNP an apology following its general election thrashing, one of the party's former MPs has said.
But Cherry's independent spirit was not enough to keep her Edinburgh South West seat when voters went to the polls last week. "And on the other hand there were a lot of people who voted for us in the past in Scotland who didn’t necessarily support independence but saw us as a strong and competent government at Holyrood, and also a party that governed with integrity.
Sturgeon, who was part of ITV’s General Election coverage, said on air that said it would be the “easy solution” for people to “take refuge in somehow it’s all my fault”.
