The debate came to a close with each leader getting 30 seconds to make a final statement.

Strugeon: Lock Boris Johnson out of Downing Street

Rennie: The majority want to stay in the UK and the EU

Leonard: Only Labour can keep Boris Johnson out of office

Carlaw: Do you want Corbyn in No 10 with Nicola Sturgeon pulling the strings?

That brings to an end our coverage of the Scotland Leaders Debate.

Independence and Brexit inevitably featured in tonight's debate, but perhaps not as much as might have been expected.

Audience member Matthew Brickell asked if it was inevitable that Scotland would vote for independence if the UK eventually leaves the European Union.

Willie Rennie doesn't want to see that: "We shouldn't mount chaos upon chaos."

Jackson Carlaw was also against this citing the once in a generation pledge made by the SNP.

"It's not democracy if people are not allowed to change their minds when the circumstances have changed," countered Nicola Sturgeon.

Richard Leonard didn't get a chance to respond but Scottish Labour has said it opposes indyref2 in the "early years" of a Labour government.

The first question tonight was on the mistrust of politicians.

• Nicola Sturgeon thought politicians "have forgotten we're opponents, not enemies".
• It's "right and correct" to question everything politicians say according to Jackson Carlaw.
• Richard Leonard said that "part of leadership is listening".
• The mistrust of politicians "deeply concerns me", said Willie Rennie.

The leaders were also asked: Should it be a criminal offence to lie in Parliament?

Short and snappy answers from the four leaders to this:

• Richard Leonard: Prisons are already overcrowded so he is not sure locking up politicians is the right thing to do, adding it should perhaps be a civil crime
• Jackson Carlaw: No, but it's a resignation matter
• Nicola Sturgeon: It is not something politicians should do regardless of whether it is an offence; she also criticises Boris Johnson for lying
• Willie Rennie: Agrees with the first minister about Boris Johnson

About a third of the record four million people across Scotland who are registered to vote in Thursday's general election are not expected to do so.

Many simply won't get round to voting this time, while others have never voted.

But with disillusionment with politics and politicians said to be on the rise, some say they no longer want to endorse what they claim is a broken system.

Will tonight's debate have changed their minds? We'll find out on Friday!

The debate is over, but there will be instant reaction from The Nine.

Jackson Carlaw asks: Do you want Jeremy Corbyn in No 10 with Nicola Sturgeon pulling the strings and seeking another independence referendum.

If your answer is no, the only party with the strength to stand up for you is the Scottish Conservatives he insists.

Richard Leonard says only Labour can keep Boris Johnson out of office.

He says the only way to elect a Labour government is to vote Labour and when Labour wins Scotland wins.

Mr Rennie says the Lib Dems speak for the majority that want to stay in the UK and EU.

Referring to the division, he tells voters: "You now have the power in your hands to make it stop."

To the closing statements and Nicola Sturgeon says on Thursday Scotland's future is on the line and warns against a Tory government and an "untrustworthy" prime minister.

The first minister says vote SNP and "lock Boris Johnson out of Downing Street and allow an escape route from Brexit".

Jackson Carlaw says if we want to ensure the planet succeeds, we must help developing countries to not do things which damage it.

We are already investing £11bn in assisting other countries with transition he says.

Richard Leonard says he wants to see a "green industrial revolution" and he reminds people of what happened to the coal industry under the Tories in the 1980s.

The Scottish Labour leader says there must be a just transition away from the fossil fuel industry.

He says there is a humanitarian responsibility to all of the people across the world to combat this climate catastrophe.
