John Swinney wants to build the highest levels of support possible for Scottish independence, referencing the 1997 referendum where 74% wanted a Scottish parliament.

"I have agonised over my decision... changing the law would alter the relationship between doctor and patient and could put pressure on vulnerable individuals."

Swinney strongly supports trans rights, believing trans women should use women's facilities, stating they are women and highlighting the need for comfort without disadvantaging others.
