2015 United Kingdom Parliament Election - Scottish National Party(SNP) Wave

 

The SNP took 56 out of the 59 U.K. parliamentary seats in Scotland. Some of Britain’s most experienced Labour politicians lost their seats.

Throughout Scotland, the vote for change and for a party that favours independence was overwhelming.

The SNP will now become the third-largest party in the U.K. Parliament — an ironic position for a party that wants to break off from the United Kingdom

SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon said the election had been a great result for the party, which has seen membership numbers rise from 25,000 to more than 105,000 in six months
