The Tories are playing a “short term and dangerous” game which could threaten the security of the United Kingdom, according to a leading Scottish Conservative who warned against the party's election tactic of building up the SNP as a way to damage Labour.
Conservative former Scottish secretary Lord Forsyth warned the Tory tactic of appearing to embrace Scottish nationalism, in order to undermine Labour's chances of winning seats in the General Election, was a approach that could threaten the Union.
"We've had the dilemma for Conservatives, which is they want to be the largest party at Westminster and therefore some see the fact that the nationalists are going to take seats in Scotland will be helpful," he told The Guardian.
"But that is a short-term and dangerous view which threatens the integrity of our country." Aol.
