Responding to the news that the media will be banned from attending all nine SNP leadership husting events, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP said:  

“Imagine a US presidential primary being conducted behind closed doors- it just wouldn’t happen.  

“Division and disagreement has clearly boiled over in the SNP, and it seems they’ve been left with no other option than to hide under the table. It's embarrassing.

“As the SNP leadership race will determine who our next First Minister is, this contest is a matter of huge public interest and importance. It simply cannot be allowed to happen in secret.

“People across Scotland have an indisputable right to know about the prospective leaders of the country and their plans for governing. To deny people that right is to commit an act of the utmost arrogance.”
