The SNP's Revival and Its Impact on Scotland's Political Landscape
The Scottish National Party (SNP), which appeared to be in serious trouble after heavy losses in the last general election and leadership instability, is showing signs of recovery ahead of the Scottish Parliament elections next May.

London refuses to give the people of Scotland an #IndependenceReferendum.
The question of #ScottishIndependence will be answered at the ballot box in a general election.

Don't let them stop us.
The three candidates for #firstminister should heed this poll and take plans for another #referendum off the table.
It’s time for the people’s priorities, not the SNP’s.
