The Scottish National Party (SNP)

The Scottish National Party (SNP) is a political party in Scotland that advocates for Scottish independence, meaning they want Scotland to be a separate country from the UK. They also promote policies focused on social justice, healthcare, education, and environmental sustainability. The SNP has been influential in Scottish politics, particularly in pushing for a referendum on independence and in government since 2007. While their core goal is independence, they also participate in UK-wide politics, often promoting progressive policies within the broader UK Parliament.
