Scotland could ditch the monarchy within five years of independence, SNP frontrunner Humza Yousaf has declared.
Announcing King Charles could be replaced by an elected head of state, the party favourite added that despite it not being an 'immediate priority', he believes it's an important discussion that needs to take place.
Voting opened on Monday in the contest that will select the candidate to succeed Nicola Sturgeon as SNP leader. Ballots sent out to thousands of members will allow them to choose between three remaining candidates: Mr Yousaf, Kate Forbes and Ash Regan. The frontrunner set to replace Nicola Sturgeon says Scotland could ditch the Monarchy in favour of an independently elected head of state.Speaking with The National, Mr Yousaf said he believes regional assemblies should be prepared to discuss 'what kind of Scotland we want to see'."I don't know why we should be shy about that, I don't think we should be.
Adding he'd be keen to get a new Scottish currency introduced "as soon as possible", the candidate said he considers himself a "citizen" and not a "subject" as part of the interview.
