The Importance of Scotland in General Elections
Scotland's significance in general elections has shifted dramatically in recent years, with Labour losing substantial influence and the Scottish National Party (SNP) rising to prominence. The SNP has faced challenges due to governance issues and an identity crisis, impacting its support.
