First Minister and SNP Leader John Swinney said 'people are desperate to get rid of the Tories' and acknowledged people are 'considering voting Labour'.
ITV News Political Correspondent Shehab Khan explains the key policies at the heart of the SNP 's General Election manifesto
He warned voters to "be careful what you wish for, because the Labour party is going to pick up where the Tory party left off with spending cuts." He added: “We will join with progressive politicians south of the border to press for greater funding for the NHS and for the UK Government to match the pay deals we have given our health staff in Scotland.”Table a “Keep the NHS in Public Hands Bill”, and urge UK government to boost NHS funding by at least £16bn, which would provide an extra £1.
The very first page of the manifesto reads: "Vote SNP for Scotland to become an independent country." The SNP would fight against the two-child benefit cap, he said, as well as nuclear weapons and the push for the abolition of the House of Lords. Health care is a devolved matter in Scotland, meaning the Scottish government makes decisions on running its health service and funding allocation - but the Westminster government decides how much money is made available to Scotland.
