FORMER SNP leader Gordon Wilson will warn party activists that legalising same-sex marriage is "sliding down the road to fascism" in a fringe meeting at his party conference, prompting demands for an apology from equal rights campaigners.
Mr Wilson will repeat his call against same-sex marriage and warn MSPs they face losing their seats if they "scorn the electorate" at a meeting of the SNP conference in Perth.
He will say: "The consultation process was a fraud. What is the point of canvassing the views of the electorate and then cynically discarding them? If you think we are sliding down a road to state fascism and intolerance, you may not be far wrong."
