Swinney added: “I think that’s come across to members of the public and they’re worried about where we are as a party.”But he said he wanted to win voters back, adding: “I want to and I need to earn those votes back, if there’s some disaffection between people who support independence, who previously voted for the SNP I will be working very, very hard to win those people back.
