My Scottish friends tell me SNP is sort of “social-democrat” not particularly leftist - but do have the belief in ideas like “their” oil should pay for all kinds of welfare programs. Not particularly pro immigration, as that doesn’t fit with their overall nationalist view.
I don’t know what to believe about SNP
Certainly its a HUGE groundswell that would wipe Labor out of Scotland in one election.
Certainly - expect another referendum on further devolution or outright independence very soon.
So, the SNP are national socialists....
The SNP is actually very pro-immigration. Much of the independence and pro-SNP argument sniffed at the English for increasingly turning to UKIP and becoming more hostile to immigration, despite the fact that England is only 79% ‘White British’ and Scotland is over 90% white British, and thus much less affected by immigration.
