The SNP (Scottish National Party)

The Scottish National Party (SNP) is a political party in Scotland that primarily advocates for Scottish independence, aiming for Scotland to become a separate country from the United Kingdom. Founded in 1934, it focuses on issues like Scottish self-governance, social justice, and environmental sustainability. The SNP has been the dominant party in Scotland’s Parliament since 2007, leading efforts for a potential independence referendum. While its core goal is independence, it also promotes policies on healthcare, education, and the economy aligned with its values of social equality and Scottish interests.
