Ms Forbes stressed she had made a “solemn and honest pledge when it comes to upholding and defending the right of every Scot”. Ms Regan said she would put the “best people” in her cabinet, but was “extremely non-committal” about who would be in it. Ms Forbes said she would “hope there would be roles for both of them” – although she stressed the need for a “new team”. On whether Scotland should keep the monarchy under independence, Ms Forbes said there were “bigger issues facing Scotland”. Ms Regan said her preference would be to have an elected head of state.
