SNP

The Scottish National Party is a centre-left, pro-independence party and the main nationalist force in Scotland. It held most of Scotland's Westminster seats from 2015 to 2024. The party's core mission is Scottish independence, alongside progressive policies on public services, renewable energy, and social equality. Leadership passed from Nicola Sturgeon to Humza Yousaf and then to John Swinney.
