Scottish National Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The SNP was formed in 1934 from the merger of the National Party of Scotland and the Scottish Party. Some attempted to cement this at the 1975 SNP conference where a motion to change the name of the party to the Scottish National Party (Social Democrats) was due to be debated. However, the party's MPs who in the main represented seats won from the Conservatives were less keen to have the SNP viewed as a left-of-centre alternative to Labour, for fear of losing their seats back to the Conservatives. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Scottish_National_Party   (2043 words)

Scottish National Party - dKosopedia The Scottish National Party was formed in 1934 by the merger of the National Party of Scotland (a group of former Liberals and Labourites who favored Scottish independence) and the Scottish Party (a group of former Conservatives who favored Home Rule, ie autonomy within the UK). The party only won five seats in the UK general election of 2001, and with the emergence of the Scottish Socialist Party and the Scottish Green Party, the SNP is no longer the sole advocate of Scottish independence. The discovery of oil in the North Sea off the Scottish coast boosted support for the SNP in the 1970s, culminating in a 1979 referendum on devolution which failed to pass. www.dkosopedia.com /index.php/Scottish_National_Party   (320 words)

Scotsman.com Election - Scottish National Party It may be that the Scottish Parliament, reconvened in 1999, may have restored a sufficient amount of nationhood to cause some SNP voters to stray away from the single independence issue to other parties. Captain's innings: Whilst Salmond's return to the helm of the party from Westminster in 2004 was heralded as the beginning of a new age for the SNP, with leadership hitting 10,000, it still remains to seen where the party will fit into the political landscape this time around. Alex Salmond and deputy Nicola Sturgeon are certainly a convincing and charismatic double act, but it's been a quieter term of office so far compared to Salmond's rousing role at the helm the party first time round. election.scotsman.com /parties.cfm?party=SNP   (435 words)

BBC NEWS Election 2005 Scotland SNP unveils 'people's manifesto' I watched the SNP party political broadcast on Thursday and the Sean Connery voiced introduction (is it really his voice?) was particularly annoying considering he lives in Barbados and spends very little time in this country.

I think every Scot should vote for SNP as this party has our best wishes at heart. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/uk_politics/vote_2005/scotland/4446193.stm   (4395 words)

Chapter 9 - The Scottish National Party Muriel had been a supporter of the Nationalist cause since 1932 when she became a member of the National Party of Scotland in Glasgow. Much nearer the truth is the disclosure in the files in the Scottish Record Office of a Secretary of State struggling to reconcile his "Home Rule" and socialism past with the actions of an establishment in panic. Despite the high profile of some of the leaders of the SNP, particularly John MacCormick, the Party in the 1940’s was in extremely poor shape. www.electricscotland.com /HISTORY/mcintyre/chap9.htm   (1616 words)

Pub Philosopher I am still left wondering what happened to the Tories, who would have us believe that they are the party of individual freedom, and the rest of the mainstream right-wing on Saturday. The rally had no coverage in the Telegraph (remember its "Free Country" campaign?) or the Spectator and there were no expressions of support from any Conservative MPs. It seems that the image we have been shown in the UK, of French youth united against the new labour laws, is only half the story. pubphilosopher.blogs.com   (1958 words)
