	Scottish Socialist Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scottish Militant Labour (which had itself formed out of the Trotskyist Militant Tendency in the early 1990s) drove the formation of the SSA.

		Delegates to the SSP conference voted on February 13, 2005 and Fox was elected with 252 votes to McCombes' 154; 9 delegates abstained and 1 ballot paper was spoilt.

		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.

	Chapter 5 - The Scottish National Party in the Nineteen Thirties (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It was, therefore, with some consternation that leading members of the National Party of Scotland viewed the intervention of the Scottish Party, in the form of Andrew Dewar Gibb as their candidate, in a by-election in Kilmarnock late in 1933.
		Some of the former members of the Scottish Party departed the scene but, whilst this helped a little in producing some semblance of cohesion, the fundamental problem of claril~4ng whether the SNP was a "movement" or a political party, with a programme of action which would gain the independence of Scotland, remained unresolved.
		This conflict was to continue to engage the party’s energies and personnel until it eventually caused the split in 1942.

	Scottish National Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Scotland, the Scottish National Party (SNP) (Pàrtaidh Nàiseanta na h-Alba in Scottish Gaelic) is a centre-left political party which campaigns for Scottish independence.
		However, by the 1960s the party was beginning to be defined ideologically.
		There was further ideological strife after 1979 with the 79 Group attempting to move the SNP further to the left, away from being what could be described a 'social-democratic' party, to an expressly 'socialist' party.

	An exchange on the nationalism of the Scottish Socialist Party
		Given the overt and repeated insistence of the party that its main aim is to secure an independent Scotland, whether socialist or not, to accept its espousal of various reformist measures and its rhetorical commitment to socialism as good coin requires either a suspension of critical faculties or an acceptance of the SSP’s outlook.
		Scottish Militant Labour, and Tommy Sheridan in particular, first achieved political prominence as a result of their role in the leadership of the anti-Poll Tax campaign.
		The Scottish Socialist Party has succeeded in winning considerable support, thanks to popular opposition to the Blair government, which has pursued policies in no way different to the policies of the Conservatives it replaced, and as a result of the equally right-wing trajectory of the Scottish National Party.
