Scottish Nationalist leader Nicola Sturgeon vowed yesterday to ‘ frighten the life out of Westminster ’ if her party storms to victory north of the border on May 7 . She demanded the abolition of the ‘ undemocratic ’ House of Lords and pledged to put the ‘ backbone and guts ’ into a Labour government led by Ed Miliband . And Miss Sturgeon repeated her party ’ s promise to overthrow a Tory minority administration even if the Conservatives have more seats than any other party after the Election . Nicola Sturgeon , whose critics have compared her to President Putin in attempting to divide the UK like Russia did Ukraine , has vowed to shake up the Westminster system . The SNP is on course for huge gains on May 7 , with Miss Sturgeon boasting it can win all 58 of Scotland ’ s Commons seats . In a speech to SNP activists , she said a party that ‘ frightens the life out of the Westminster establishment ’ was ‘ good news for ordinary people in Scotland and right across these islands ’ . Miss Sturgeon , who is also the Scottish First Minister , said : ‘ The House of Lords has no place in a democratic society . ‘ Its members are paid £300 a day for just showing up , and it ’ s totally tax-free . That ’ s got to stop . It is now time to abolish the House of Lords . ‘ So , yes , David Cameron , Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg , if you are worried that a strong SNP is a threat to all that is deeply undemocratic and unfair about the Westminster notion of democracy , then all I can say to you is this : you had better believe we are. ’ Miss Sturgeon ’ s uncompromising message came after Tory whip Ben Wallace accused her of aping the tactics of Russian president Vladimir Putin in her bid to break up the UK . Ms Sturgeon ( far right ) also repeated the pledge of Alex Salmond ( near left ) to vote with Labour to lock the Tories out of government , even if neither of their parties hold the biggest number of seats . He said : ‘ Nicola Sturgeon is intent on stoking division in England in the same way Putin used it to break apart Ukraine. ’ The SNP leader also faces accusations of trying to exert ‘ Stalinist ’ discipline over proposed new rules banning her MPs from speaking out against party policy . Yesterday , Miss Sturgeon also echoed former party leader Alex Salmond , now bidding to return to Westminster as an MP , by insisting that the SNP would vote down a minority Conservative Government , despite the long-standing tradition that the party with the most MPs should have an opportunity to form a Government . ‘ The SNP will never put the Tories into government – not now , not ever , ’ she said . ‘ As long as there are more anti-Tory MPs – Labour or SNP – than there are Tory MPs in the House of Commons , we can keep them out of government. ’ Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps said last night : ‘ It is clearer than ever that the prospect of Ed Miliband , in Downing Street and dancing to Alex Salmond ’ s tune , would mean chaos for Britain . ’
