A crowd of supporters on Saturday jeered Scotland’s First
Minister after being slammed by Theresa May during her campaign.
Tory activists left Theresa May smirking as they hissed at
the manner in which the Scottish first minister’s joined forces with other
Remain voters to “undermine” Britain’s departure from the European Union.
The dramatic moment as the Conservatives party leader
cautioned of the opposition awaiting for the least opportunity to form a
coalition after the election in June.
Addressing the congregation, she said: “We’ve already seen
the other parties lining up to prop-up Jeremy Corbyn, we’ve seen it from the
Liberal Democrats, and we’ve seen it from Nicola Sturgeon’s Scottish
nationalists too…”
Immediately the PM made mention of Nicola Sturgeon, the most
of the audience momentarily booed. The PM enjoying the offensive followers
laughed and continued: “And what’s clear is that they will do anything they can
to disrupt the Brexit negotiations and to frustrate and undermine the task
ahead.”
Irrespective of the fact that she appears to be the favoured
candidate of the Conservatives, in the forth-coming election, the PM said she
was “not complacent” about the election.
She continued: “If you think about it, the opinion polls got
the General Election wrong in 2015, they got the EU Referendum one wrong and as
Jeremy Corbyn himself said he was a 200/1 chance for the Labour leadership and
look how that went.
“We will not be complacent, we will be fighting for every
single vote and every single vote at this election will count because it is
about building that stronger future for this country."
Speaking further, she added: “It’s about getting the best
possible deal with the European Union, a deal that works for every single part
of our country… and it’s only by having a strong and stable government that we
can get that right deal.
“Brexit isn’t just a process, it’s an opportunity and we
need to be able to take that opportunity. It’s an opportunity to change this
country for the better.”
In the meantime, Nicola Sturgeon has accused Mrs May of
“putting the interests of her party ahead of the country” by calling an early
election.
Speaking on Sky News on Saturday, Ms Sturgeon said the snap
vote was a chance for Scots to choose their own future.
She said: “The SNP has a mandate for a second referendum.
Not now and certainly this election is not deciding whether or not Scotland
becomes independent, but when the time is right when the terms of Brexit are
clear then Scotland should have the right to choose its own future.
“We have a mandate for that, we sought that mandate in the
Scottish election last year and won that election overwhelmingly.
“But this is of course about whether the will of the
Scottish Parliament in that regard is going to be respected.”
