The Scottish National Party (SNP) is facing a decline in popularity as internal divisions and failure to address social and educational inequality in Scotland take a toll. The SNP's support for Scottish independence remains steady, but the party itself is experiencing chaos and defections to the Tories. Lisa Cameron's recent defection has deepened the party's civil war, with Humza Yousaf's leadership being challenged. Meanwhile, the Labour Party in the UK is extending its lead over the ruling Conservative Party, adding further pressure on the SNP. As the SNP meets to discuss its independence strategy, it must find a way to unite its members and counter the resurgent Labour Party.
