Scottish Nationalist Movement

The Scottish Nationalist Movement seeks to promote Scottish independence and self-governance, advocating for Scotland to be a separate nation from the United Kingdom. Key organizations, like the Scottish National Party (SNP), push for political change through elections and referendums. The movement emerged from a desire for Scotland to have greater control over its economy, culture, and laws, reflecting distinct Scottish identity and history. Supporters believe that independence would allow Scotland to make decisions that better serve its people, while critics argue it could lead to challenges in areas such as the economy and international relations.
