Swinney: People are desperate to get rid of awful Tory govt
John Swinney has said people are "absolutely desperate to get rid of this awful, awful Conservative government", as he launched the Scottish National Party's election manifesto.
The SNP leader added Scotland will win its independence through the "power of democracy" and that Scotland could then become an EU member in its own right for the first time.
