At the time, the SNP formed a minority administration. The opposition Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties had at that time a common policy to deny the people of Scotland any say in their constitutional future.<br /><br />This anti--democratic unionist alliance publicly vowed to sabotage any Referendum Bill brought before the Scottish Parliament.
