SNP story shattered after collapse leaves them with seats in single digits
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- SNP leader John Swinney admitted his party will have to "face up to the realities of the situation" after his party dropped dozens of seats.
The SNP lost 38 of the 48 it won in 2019 - which was a major blow to Scotland's first minister and his unwavering desire to pursue another independence referendum.

Nicola Sturgeon accusing women of been bigots did it for me. Very dangerous when the party in power turns against a huge portion of the citizens.

This isn’t a comeback. It’s a failure and downfall of the SNP
@@christinasutherland3604 yes and no. I would rather vote for a party that actually had a vision and offered something than voting against something I didn’t
SNP failed to look after the people of Scotland. BIG mistake.
The most favorable outcome for Scotland would be the downfall of the SNP, as their leadership has led to a decline in the country's well-being.
I cannot believe that they never expected to fall so far. The complacency arrogance and fact that they are totally out of touch with the majority of people in Scotland just highlight once again how utterly useless they are.
@@roz8723 agreed. I have a family member who said that if the SNP lose any seats that he’d move out of Scotland, I’ve just offered to pay for half his ticket, he laughed ….
Tories 13%, SNP 30%, Labour 36% of votes in Scotland.
The last election they had an enormous 45% of the vote which which is why comparisons look bad. Remember, the Scottish Parliament has PR which means that if this was replicated they'd be close to Labour in seats
The arrogance stems from their small self serving myopic little minds .
@@UnknownUser-rb9pd In other words, the SNP lost a third of their votes.
I think we all know the difference between a Westminster and Holyrood election, and this wasn't a Holyrood election
exactly ...
SNP made themselves a one trick pony unable to perform tricks
SNP white white white hate speech against the people of Scotland didn't help
@@Abstractpossom more than 80 percent.
Gaza too. They kept banging about it like we didn’t have problems of our own.
@in-x-orable2769 Yes the vast majority of Scotland as they have shown have no sympathy for Palestinian terrorists.
Expect similar soon from the Labour leader.
Considering the leader of labour who took the seats off them last night, made a near identical speech on the same day, that would suggest the speech was not too much of a problem, or maybe they are not aware of his speech because the media has not highlighted it. Matters not which one is in control, both party's are full of self serving lying spineless cowards. People are deluding themselves if they think the new mob are any different from the old mob.
Best thing for SCOTLAND removal of power from the SNP!
No it wasn't as all those who didn't vote for the wretched SNP voted for Liebour and got them into power. At every stage the SNP have tried to cause immense damage to the Union of the UK, but this time they have well and truly gone and done it. Things are going to get very bad in the UK and I don't think come 2029 that even if Reform do very well that we can recover from the damage Liebour will inflict upon the UK in the next 5 years.
@@darinharrison3900 but then again, they get away with their failures Scott free…
They haven't been removed from power.
@@UnknownUser-rb9pd Correct. The SNP, despite being the 3rd largest party at Westminster, were rarely acknowledged in the UK parliament let alone enjoyed any "power". The Scottish parliamentary elections in 2026 will be the real test for the SNP - and they better get their act together before then.
Nah the best thing for Scotland is to build a border before the tsunami of forigners end up there.
Wtf do u expect, they have put imigrants before the indigenous people of Scotland
Great,what a horrible party,and nicola sturgeon had the gall to rant about boris johnson,and itv are disgusting for having her on the panel
SNP are out! But they still got 9 MPs so who are these idiots that still voted for them ! Are they getting a backhander !!!
Hamza Useless (WEF) and Nicola Sturgen (Just plain corrupt). There is no way back.
ignoring Boris who ruined the uk economy plus all that corruption and sleaze around covid and awarding contracts to make millions for his friend's and all the other countless corrupt things they got up to along with liz truss crashing the economy etc
Humza turning the party against white people certainly did some damage, then he finished Scotland off by shutting down freedom of speech
Best thing for Scotland, I still find it amazing that people, especially women, still voted for this dismal party.
They are not there for the people of Scotland.The SNP are there for their own benefit.
I have always known them as "The Scottish NUMPTY Party"
It turns out I was right all along.
They are an Embaresssment to true native Scottish people
@@mrdemocracy7106your spelling is embarrassing aswell.
@@mrdemocracy7106the irony in your name lol sadwar/starmer are anything but democratic they will never accept that over 50% of the people of Scotland still believe in independence
@@chrisstones1249Have the SNP figured out what a woman is yet?
@@davehallett810the woman joke has run it's course, one thing the s.n.p. genuinely can't do is to stop blaming all there faults and problems on Westminster,if they concentrated more on themselves and whatever support they still have ,they just might be able to sort some of the problems affecting my home nation .
Best part of this whole election 😂 well done Scotland.
The motorhome now has more seats than they do .
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
😂😂Brilliant!
Good one😊!
And probably runs better as well
Brilliant 😂😂😂
Didn’t fall far enough
Oh they still have a long journey to go.
Their finances, or lack thereof could see them disappear.
Here's hoping.
It’s amazing how a mobile home can bring down a political party.
And a campervan.
That 600k was stashed under the sink in Murrel's campervan. Allegedly.
Lol nothing to do with labour, it was about sending a message to the arrogant snp who thought they were too big to fall, and put themselves above every scot.
And put foreigners piling into Scotland at their behest on a pedestal and to give them the vote to try and get their view of 'independence' that way - a Scotland with no Scots in it!
SNP NONCES
SNP now stands for Scottish Numpty Party.
Absolutely gutted they got 9 seats, 9 too many.
Fraser i am gutted Unionists got any seats
@Fraser44 Same here.
I agree
Serves them right for trying to break up the Union.
Sarwar needs to be mindful and not to celebrate too much, that the people of Scotland didnt vote for labour ! they tactically voted against the SNP, if Labour doesnt work for the people the next poll will likely return for reform, in the main voters are not any longer loyal to one party ? they vote for who will actually work for them at local level and stick to manifesto promises and will change like the wind if any future party fails to remember that
Nonsense. This was an anti-tory vote. Sarwar is mopping up the credit for Starmers' efforts. And Reform will disappear like their previous versions of the party did.
Very well said!
@@andrewadam9544 totally agree. Sarwar is no different from Humza, he virtually made the same White White White speech. I predict they won’t turn any of the SNP bad policies, I think they might even double down on a few.
Hear hear.
I hope the people of Scotland have more sense than to vote for the Reform company, I would hate to see fascist policies becoming the norm in Scotland.
Hamhead useless, was the final nail in the snp coffin,
Remember when Humza said there’s too many whites in Scotland?
.........what a fool he is.....as bad as Diane Abbott saying all white peoples look the same and then giggling hysterically about it.....what was funny about that was she was not stood down or arrested just went on her merry way with her shoes on the wrong foot....
The combination of Humza Sturgeon anti brexit and Scottish independence (what a joke) brought these woke ideologues down
Can hardly believe we are stupid enough to let them get away with 9 seats, particularly in Aberdeen, some turkeys apparently do vote for Christmas
Blame reform
Without them, the SNP would have been down to just 3 seats in Scotland
@@MrToymaster1 fair point but people have to be aware of the consequences of voting for a protest party, which is what Reform are, in places where the polling is very tight. Having said that just why anyone in the Aberdeen area would vote for SNP is beyond me .
@@davesmith4248
Aberdeen is very reliant on oil and the SNP MPs there ware the most pro-oil in the whole UK
@@MrToymaster1 I didn’t think they were, Swinney and Sturgeon both said they didn’t want any new oil exploration which is incredible really
@@davesmith4248
Tell that to Flynn
The SNP needs to find another agenda. The majority of Scots do not desire self-destructive independence. Time to move on.
Support for independence has increased in recent months. Clearly a lot of independence supporters voted for Labour
@@Support-your-local-team has it?? I'm Scottish and haven't seen any increase in support..
@@Support-your-local-team LOL nonsense, why would anyone wishing independence vote for a party who have zero interest in it and will not deliver it. I mean the SNP didn't deliver it either despite a million promises year after year, but at least Labour will focus on important things not 99% on an Indy Ref 2 scam just to get votes like the SNP did
@@gazzisright7362 The opinion polls are all tracked online, search "Scottish independence opinion polling". Most polls have no ahead by very slim majorities. If everybody voted based on Scottish v British nationalism then the SNP wouldn't have had a shocker, it would have been close.
@@Support-your-local-team
No it hasn’t, it’s at the bottom of people’s priorities.
SNP could have sheltered Scotland from the Tories but instead they made things worse to push their extreme left wing agendas.
Nicola Sturgeon's lackey : John Swinney 🏴🤬
SNP snouts in the trough - working for a living now , maybe building ferries.
Corruption not tolerated in Scotland or England as this election has shown. And rightly so, parties can be in power too long and then they become well heeled dodgy chancers.
A disappointment for Celtic Park.
They don’t deserve ANY seats at all - aside from the bus journey back to their expensive homes they’ve acquired for themselves from the taxpayers.
SNP only need a campervan now
Their Battle Bus.
Get it right it's "The Scottish NUMPTY Party" full of Village mince numpties
An Embaresssment to Scotland
R democracy Unionists are bigger embarrassment to Scotland thats why 91 % Scottish never put British as there nationality on population survey question
Flynn and Swinney, they deseve each other along with Nippy and Yusaf 😷🤮🤡💩
Give it 12 months and the SNP will look more competent than Labour 😂😂😂, David Lammy as foreigne secretary. God help us all.
Doubtful. Didn't sturgeon claim it was common sense to chop the bottom of fire doors off in schools? Can't really look more incompetent than that. What a clown.
Same again even worse. Record immigration Ulez on steroids etc.
The problem is they are too white white white 😅
We Scots are definitely too white for Humsa.

On the bright side, we can now forget about self-destructive independence and focus on delivering growth for Scotland.

@ImloyaltoScotland.only Haha cry more 😂
Nicola must be so proud. She said every SNP vote this election was a de-facto vote for independence and the people have spoken.
Oh dear. Maybe the SNP messed up every single thing they touched over the last years.
I'm a lifelong nationalist and former SNP member that gave up on them years ago. The trigger for me was when they stopped being a real nationalist party. That decision was taken at the Moir hall in Perth. They unilaterally decided to abandon the use of general elections to attain independence. There is absolutely no reason why general elections cannot be used to obtain an independence mandate and use that to present a bill at Westminster demanding indepencence. The votes they won were obtained deceitfully as many supporters believed they were voting for independence when in fact they were not. They cheated their voters and supporters in exactly the same way as the other parties that they showed such contempt for. I'm glad to see them get the kicking they deserve. The problem is that they have opened the door to the unionists of the Labour party and set back the cause of independence and national sovereignty, perhaps for ever.
They put a male rapist in prison with women. They were responsible for me sharing a 4 bed hospital ward with 3 other men. 2 of which were addicts. They were well warned about the removal of single sex spaces but proceeded with the craziness.
Masters of their own downfall.
Great news. Britain must not be divided.
Foxwell Britain is getting destroyed
Each of the top tier of the SNP need to be interviewed and asked what they knew about the missing money and the motorhome purchase preferably by a good journalist first on camera then the police as part of their investigation.
How was this a suprise? They elected a racist as their leader. Like, honestly for politicans they cant predict much can they? 😂😂
Labour MP - WHITE, another Labour MP - WHITE, and another Labour MP - WHITE.......etc...😍😍😍
He never thought that speech would come back to bite him on the arse so much!
so very glad that racist Humza is out and now the whole party--hope that will teach them!
Fantastic!
Well done Krannie!!
Oo happy days.
To day I woke up with a sense of relief and hope. The Tories were out and SNP had lost the majority of their seats.
Tories and SNP are different sides of the same coin. Both toxic parties for Scotland.
I hope labour will do as they promised and get Scotland and the rest of the UK back to a respectable standard of living.
we have to push them to keep to their promises, whatevetr they are we need people to get the opportunity to work full time and not on zero hour contracts, stem the money out of the country etc. we can't expect growth with higher taxes on low earners and living on borrowed money,
Labour are the same as the tories muppet
Don't expect too much from any political party that puts the welfare of illegal immigrants and the rest of the third world before that of the native Scot's.
Starmer has already claimed that Scotland needs more immigrants? Why?
The worst thing for Scotland is woke labour.
The Scots have a problem what party is less English certainly not the Tories or reform. So go the Welsh nationalist way. Vote Labour.

Just the thought of Starmer & his dangerous clowns in power is so depressing.
For a start SNP needs rebranding specifically a name change. I would rename the party "SCOTLAND 1705" because this the date that Scotland was an Independent country pre the act of union in 1707.
Vote REFORM.
Look at what FPTP does. A smallish swing in the votes causes a huge swing in number if seats won. Let's bring in PR and end this maddness.
In 2026, there'll be a hybrid FPTP/PR in Scotland-see how that goes.

Maybe SNP could have made it clear to voters in Scotland that they didn't have to vote labour just to get the tories out.

From the Scottish people 🤣🤣🤣
Such a useless party
SNP still managed to fu.. it up despite an extra 2K per person, per year from the English tax payer…..Labour are about to find out how tough it is to govern!
The silver lining in an otherwise very dark cloud. The SNP with its incessant bleating about independence and leftwing wokery, coupled with their inability to deliver basic services has received its own vote of "no confidence" from the people of Scotland. For at least the next couple of years, I do not expect to be hearing any more talk of secession.
As a proudly naturalised British citizen, I've always lived in Edinburgh and I love Scotland, but frankly the narrow-minded, IndyRef2-fixated SNP that in the process have forgotten to focus on the people and deal with everyday problems professionally rather putting one major aim "independence" into their political goal deserves nothing but DEFEAT! I'm so HAPPY! :)

Labour now elected are making cuts to public services, the safety net and borrowed an extra £5 billion on top of what was predicted by the OBR.
