:00:59. > :01:33.I will try and do this one better. Put a lot of pressure on the drill.
:01:34. > :01:37.That was better. Why is it necessary for you to visit as many places as
:01:38. > :01:40.you are? It's important for any political leader to get out and
:01:41. > :01:43.about during an election campaign and talk to as many people as
:01:44. > :01:47.possible. That is what I always do during elections and what I am
:01:48. > :01:50.determined to do in this one. My message is that Thursday gives us
:01:51. > :01:53.the chance to make it positive statement about the kind of country
:01:54. > :01:58.we want Scotland to be. We know that five more years of the Tories, if
:01:59. > :02:02.left to their own devices, will mean more cuts in public services, more
:02:03. > :02:07.people pushed into poverty and a risk to jobs with their extreme form
:02:08. > :02:10.of Brexit. But we now have an opportunity to hold the Tories in
:02:11. > :02:13.check. The polls have narrowed in the rest of the UK and whether or
:02:14. > :02:17.not Theresa May increases the majority could come down to the
:02:18. > :02:21.outcome in Scotland. So let's not send Tory MPs to be a rubber stamp
:02:22. > :02:24.for more austerity, let's send strong SNP MPs to stand up for
:02:25. > :02:29.Scotland and make our voice heard. You set a positive message. Alistair
:02:30. > :02:33.Darling has been reiterating that the SNP is a divisive force. Is that
:02:34. > :02:37.a hard label to shake off? All of the opposition parties are obsessed
:02:38. > :02:40.with talking about the SNP because they are ashamed of their own
:02:41. > :02:46.records and their own policies. We know that the Tories plan more cuts.
:02:47. > :02:50.They plan an extreme Brexit and their cuts to welfare will push more
:02:51. > :02:55.people, including children, into poverty. We want an alternative and
:02:56. > :02:58.Thursday gives us an opportunity to say that that is not the vision of
:02:59. > :03:03.Scotland that we have. We want a fair and equal Scotland where we see
:03:04. > :03:06.investment in our public services and an alternative to austerity.
:03:07. > :03:11.Only the SNP has the strength to stand up to the Tories and take them
:03:12. > :03:15.on. The SNP was first or second in every constituency in Scotland in
:03:16. > :03:17.the last election, so voting Labour one Liberal Democrat just risks
:03:18. > :03:23.splitting the anti-Tory vote and letting them in by the back door. If
:03:24. > :03:25.you want to make we don't send rubber-stamps for austerity back to
:03:26. > :03:33.Westminster and instead have strong voices standing up for fairness,
:03:34. > :03:36.make sure you elect SNP MPs. You mentioned the Labour Party. So you
:03:37. > :03:41.will not be looking to do any sort of deal with them? Jeremy Corbyn
:03:42. > :03:44.doesn't seem keen. I have always said if the arithmetic allowed it, I
:03:45. > :03:48.would want the SNP to be part of a progressive alternative to the Tory
:03:49. > :03:50.government that invested in public services and protected pensions and
:03:51. > :03:56.policies that lift people out of poverty. But the polls and the rest
:03:57. > :04:00.of the UK still suggest the Tories will win this election. But it is no
:04:01. > :04:03.longer inevitable that Theresa May increases her majority, because she
:04:04. > :04:07.has been exposed throughout this campaign as being weak and evasive
:04:08. > :04:09.with no answers to basic questions. Pollsters are now saying that
:04:10. > :04:13.whether or not she increases her majority could get down to the
:04:14. > :04:17.outcome in Scotland. So let's not throw Theresa May a lifeline by
:04:18. > :04:25.boosting her majority. Let's put Scotland's interests first. Let's
:04:26. > :04:28.get strong SNP MPs to the House of Commons so we can continue to stand
:04:29. > :04:37.up for Scotland and stand up for the kind of country we want to be.
:04:38. > :04:45.The polls show us head and shoulders ahead of our rivals but I take
:04:46. > :04:49.nothing for granted because we should not take a single vote for
:04:50. > :04:53.granted. This is an important election, it will define the kind of
:04:54. > :04:57.country we are. Let's make sure the kind of country we become is not the
:04:58. > :05:01.one the Tories want to see but is instead that positive Scotland and
:05:02. > :05:08.values fairness and equality. Let's not boost Theresa May's majority
:05:09. > :05:11.when she's on the road. Let's keep Scotland's voice strong at
:05:12. > :05:21.Westminster because that is how to stand up to the Cape -- type of
:05:22. > :05:32.country we want to see. Thank you for serenading us.
