“You’ve got that polarisation of ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ and in the long-term that’s very bad for our politics,” she said.

“I would love for this election to be about jobs, the economy, living standards, how to invest in public services and every opportunity I get I’ll talk about those things.”

Ms Dugdale also explained her position on devolving more powers to Holyrood from Brussels after Britain is scheduled to depart from the EU in 2019.

She also echoed support for abolishing the House of Lords and revisiting electoral reform.
