  Scottish Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scottish Party was formed in 1932 by a group of members of the Unionist Party who favoured the establishment of a Dominion Scottish Parliament within the British Empire and Commonwealth.
The Scottish Party initially acted more as a think-tank than an active political party, but received overtures from the founder of the NPS, John MacCormick, to merge with the NPS to unify the elements of the Scottish independence movement.
The party's candidate for the November 1933 by-election in Kilmarnock received NPS backing, and this co-operation concluded with the merger of the two parties in 1934 to become the Scottish National Party.

 Swans Commentary: Why Scotland Must Put Independence First, by Joe Middleton - joemid01
Given the fact that all the Scottish parties are on the political left, it would seem likely that an independent Scotland would be further to the left than the current UK government, but at the end of the day it is up to the people of Scotland to decide the politics they want post independence.
As a member of the SNP on the left of the party I tried after the elections to argue for a change in political direction for the party to embrace republicanism and to shift more firmly to the left to re-capture the votes the party had lost to the SSP.
Our members are free to continue to argue for whatever they currently believe in but as an organisation we are determined to argue for a referendum on independence and nothing else and not to be divided by any political policy.

Scotland WOULD be less of a target to international terrorists if our government wasn't involving themselves in illegal wars in the middle east and denying others the nuclear weapons that Tony Blair seems to love so much.
Scotland doesn't want to spend money on unusable nuclear weapons, we don't want or need them and if England wants to buy them from the US they should do so theirselves and base them in England, not Scotland.
Scotland is an energy rich country we don't need to interfere in the affairs of other nations in the middle east and we don't want to either.
