SNP is the Scottish National Party. It is a political party in Scotland and holds a minority government (meaning that though they are in charge of the government, they have fewer MSPs in government than the other political parties put together). The SNP are nationalist and intend to see a Scotland that is independent from the rest of the United Kingdom.
They have the majority of seats and their party leader is our First Minister so yes.
The Scottish National Party (SNP) was founded in 1934 by a group of Scottish nationalists, including figures such as Arthur Donaldson, who became the party's first leader. The formation aimed to create a political platform advocating for Scottish self-governance and independence. The SNP has since evolved into a significant political force in Scotland, particularly since the late 20th century.
