The Scottish National Party

The Scottish National Party (SNP) is a political party in Scotland that advocates for Scottish independence and greater autonomy for Scotland within the United Kingdom. Founded in 1934, its main goals include promoting social democracy and addressing issues such as health care, education, and the economy. The SNP won a significant number of seats in the Scottish Parliament in 2007 and has been the governing party since then, pushing for policies that reflect Scottish interests. The party argues that an independent Scotland could better serve the needs of its people.
