Ms Sturgeon will formally replace Alex Salmond as First Minister next week after a vote in Holyrood
In her first speech as SNP leader, Sturgeon said only the party’s “raw power” could give Scotland the strong voice it needed at Westminster to guarantee that the UK government devolved real power to Holyrood.
The Scottish National party could win a majority of Scottish Westminster seats at the general election and force the UK to devolve far greater powers, Nicola Sturgeon has said.
Alex
Salmond has stepped down as SNP leader with a prediction that his
successor, Nicola Sturgeon, will 'make history' and secure independence
for Scotland.
The
outgoing First Minister made the forecast as he addressed the SNP
annual conference in Perth shortly after Ms Sturgeon took over the reins
as head of the party
