The Scottish National Party (SNP) is facing internal challenges as former members express discomfort with the party's reliance on Nicola Sturgeon's personality. Mhairi Black, the party's deputy leader in Westminster, has stated that she was uncomfortable with the SNP's emphasis on Sturgeon. This sentiment has been echoed by other members, including an SNP MP who criticized the 'cult of personality' surrounding Sturgeon. These developments indicate a significant shift within the SNP and raise questions about the party's future direction.
