Yesterday, the veteran SNP MP Pete Wishart stood by Sturgeon’s ideas and said the conference should not have been delayed.
He argued it would “probably kill” the “opportunity” to use the next Westminster election as a proxy referendum.
He also claimed even if the party could organise a new conference, it would not give them enough time to plan a campaign.
For many members, the news of the cancelled conference came in the form of an email from Lorna Finn, the SNP national secretary.
