The Scottish National Party (SNP) has been making headlines recently due to internal turmoil and leadership changes. The resignation of Humza Yousaf as SNP leader and first minister of Scotland has sparked a search for a new leader within the party. This comes after Yousaf's decision to end the powersharing agreement with the Scottish Greens, leading to backlash and calls for his resignation.
The SNP, a Scottish nationalist and social-democratic political party, has been a prominent force in Scottish politics advocating for Scottish independence. Founded in 1934, the party has seen fluctuations in leadership and internal dynamics. With a focus on independence, the SNP has played a significant role in shaping Scotland's political landscape and has been at the forefront of debates surrounding the country's future within the United Kingdom.
