<p>The Scottish First Minister joined the party’s six election candidates in Edinburgh for the launch, and demanded any Brexit deal must be put back to the people in a second referendum.</p>

<p>She said: <em>“Let me make the SNP position crystal clear: if a Brexit deal is agreed at Westminster, it must be put back to the people.</em></p>
<p><em>“No ifs, no buts, the people must have the final say.”</em></p>
<p>Discussing the position of Labour and the Conservatives, Ms Sturgeon claimed both want a hard Brexit and she described their closeness as “depressing”.</p>

<p>She warned against “shady backroom deals” between the Prime Minister and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, and added: <em>“If the Labour Party becomes the handmaiden of a Tory Brexit, it will never be forgiven. Not in Scotland and not by hundreds of thousands of young people the length and breadth of the UK.”</em></p>
<p>Describing the vote on May 23 as <em>“by far the most important European election in Scotland’s history”</em>, she said: <em>“At stake is not just which parties and which candidates will be elected to the European Parliament, at stake also is whether Scotland can remain inside the European Union at all.</em></p>
<p><em>“By voting SNP, people in Scotland can send a clear and unequivocal message to Theresa May that we are determined to do so; that Scotland is for Europe.</em></p>
<p><em>“The message we will send is this one: Scotland has had enough of being ignored, Scotland has had enough of the Westminster chaos, and Scotland does not want Brexit.”</em></p>
<p>Speaking at Dynamic Earth near the Scottish Parliament, Ms Sturgeon added: <em>“The fact is that this Tory Government now thinks they can do anything to Scotland and get away with it. We must prove them wrong.”</em></p>
<p>She also claimed the perceived treatment of Scotland by the UK Government during the Brexit process has highlighted the case for Scottish independence.</p>
<p><em>“The solidarity shown by the European Union to Ireland has shone a light on exactly why Scotland should be an independent country,”</em> she said.</p>
<p>Scottish Conservative deputy leader Jackson Carlaw responded to the SNP’s campaign launch, saying: <em>“Nicola Sturgeon’s grievance-laden speech is yet further evidence of her real priority – not to come up with a sensible plan to deliver Brexit, but to use Brexit to push her only priority, another referendum on independence.</em></p>
<p><em>“These elections on May 23 are our chance to say no to Nicola Sturgeon and no to any more referendums – whether on independence or the European Union.</em></p>
<p><em>“The choice is clear: Nicola Sturgeon has never met a referendum result she accepts.“Our position is to respect the results of the referendum and get on with delivering a deal that backs our fishermen and our businesses, so we can all move on.”</em></p>
