Transgenders have also come to terms with the climate. A confused Yousaf arrived for the Scottish Nationalists

While announcing his resignation, serving Scottish National Party (SNP) leader Humza Yousaf said in despair: Scottish independence seems frustratingly close. According to the British media, talk of empty sighs is not an established fact. The SNP, the main fuel of the fight for independence, has been in decline in recent years, and the separation of Scotland from the United Kingdom is in sight.

Any member of Nicola Sturgeon’s party is at home in court, where she got to because of the questionable handling of her party’s finances, and her husband also heard the accusation in the same case.

The head of various politicians, Alex Salmond, led Scotland to the first independence referendum ten years ago, the plebiscite was close, 45 percent of Scots voted for independence. The SNP never made a similar rush after that.

The frustrating thing is not that we are close to independence, but on the contrary, the fact that we are moving away from it. We have to be realistic in order to get back on track, it is about long-term and consistent building of support. We’re not even in cli by accident, he added. f 2014 Scottish independence campaigner Stephen Noon claims conditions were ideal years ago. We were really close, of course the prospect of Brexit also played a role, but since then the day has somewhat faded, he told Politico.

Unionist celebrate

A new referendum is unrealistic, given the party fighting for independence and internal party problems. It is not surprising that some consider the efforts for independent Scotland to be a losing battle. Following Yousaf’s resignation, the Daily Mail’s Unionist columnist Andrew Neil declared the whole concept of Scottish independence dead for at least a generation. Even the influential Bella Caledonia blog, which devours tens of thousands of nationalists, declared the year of the outgoing prime minister as one big mistake.

SNP MP Stewart McDonald did not hesitate to advise the fallen successor Yousaf on how he should proceed after joining the party leadership. He should definitely highlight that a second referendum on independence is frustratingly close. The significant political stakes are still here and we can’t pretend that they have disappeared, he wrote in a text for The Scotsman and also points to the mischief led by the outgoing prime minister.

Under Yousaf, the SNP found it hard to face reality. The prime minister’s last days in office began with Pakistani dogs last week, when he denounced the coalition agreement with the Green Party, when the Scottish government canceled its climate duty, which was supposed to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by 75 percent by 2030.

The party was not united in its view of the new Scottish law, but began to pay by the month to protect against hateful expressions of a number of social groups, including gender differences. Yousaf called it a reaction to the rising tide of hatred. British writer Joanne Rowling, for example, also condemned the law.

On Monday, Yousaf announced his resignation and stated that he will remain in office until his successor is chosen. The fate of his government, however, depends on whether Scottish Labor abandons its plans to call a referendum this week on the SNP government or whether the proposal will be rejected.

The fight for the post of prime minister

The second favorite to succeed him is the SNP’s John Swinney, according to The Guardian. On Thursday, he confirmed that he intended to run for the post of leader of the party, and thus also for the post of cabinet member. Szkov’s office even refused to accept Swinney’s orders.

The representative of the SNP hopes that they will be able to convince the former Minister of Finance Kate Forbes to give up her ambitions in favor of Swinney and thus avoid another sharp fight for the leadership. This could damage the popularity of the party. Forbesov lost to Yousaf in a tight fight for the SNP-led party.

According to the opinion of his followers, Swinney, who held the position of SNP chairman in 2000 and 2004, is much more likely to win the support of the Greens than Forbes. They would probably refuse to cooperate with Forbes due to his socially conservative views on abortion, gender reform and same-sex marriage.

Fear of critical elections

He had hope for independence but still lives. According to surveys, support from the public has not changed significantly even after ten years. The difference is still in single percentages, the idea of ​​breaking away from Britain will gain a lot of support, especially among the younger generation, as the two SNPs will join in the future. This is why I know that a new wave of struggle for independence is coming. Dal chapter of our pbhu urit will not be the same as in 2014, but for sure we will start it one day, think Noon.

The big question is the upcoming elections in the United Kingdom, which will take place in January of the fifth year at the latest. According to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, however, it is much more likely that the British will go to the polls this fall. And there will be a fight for 59 seats reserved for Scottish MPs. According to the polls, the SNP is not good at it.

Elections in Scotland will then come in 2026 at the latest and may definitively end any debate about independence. If the SNP loses this election, it’s the end for us, one of the party’s political leaders, Tommy Sheppard, said. The polls of his party are unflattering, his preferences are falling steeply, on the contrary, after years of growing Scott Labor, they are in sight.
