Sturgeon: SNP will 'engage positively' with Westminster

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said the SNP will seek to "engage positively" with David Cameron's government "but will exercise the influence that Scotland has given us"

She told ITV News: "The result of the election in Scotland can’t simply be ignored by David Cameron’s government. Scotland spoke overwhelmingly for an end to austerity, for greater investment in public services, for a more empowered Scottish Parliament.

"We’ll seek to engage constructively but we’ll be very firm that Scotland’s voice has to be listened to".
