I see lots of Indy supporters on here criticising the @snp.org whilst failing to offer any other viable solution to gain #ScottishIndependence . If we fail to gain an Indy majority at Holyrood in 2026 these people are partly to blame. SNP is the only viable option in 2026 and that’s the reality.

Scotland is a nation, and like every nation, we have the right to decide our own future.
With independence, we can lower energy bills, we can protect our NHS in a written constitution, and gain our own seat at the EU table.
Real hope, in your hands.

Scotland raises ~£91bn annually and remains a top destination for foreign investment. Onshore GDP grew 1.1% last year, and it was the UK's top FDI location outside London.
The OBR forecasts show the UK economic model is weak - but Scotland’s economy remains strong.

“The drug deaths trend in Scotland has been downward for these last five years, from 1,339 in 2020 to 1,017. A 24.2% fall, by a quarter in only 5 years after more than 20 years of increasing, is very significant and suggests a successful strategy by government.”

I hope to see Scotland a free democratic socialist republic. I realise that in our pop. of 5 mill there will be many other opinions and thats fine, we can debate and compromise once we are independent. Independence is the key. Let’s put aside differences and ensure that 2026 is the turning point.

This is sorely needed to show the damage that westminster does to Scotland's economy
❌ End the Union's biggest economic lie. GERS doesn’t show what independence would look like - it shows the cost of staying in the Union.

Far from cutting energy bills as they promised, the Labour government is hiking the bills of Scots to pay for nuclear plants in England.
In Scotland, we have vast renewable resources - and with the powers of independence, we can use them to lower bills.

75 years ago, the ECHR was signed after the horrors of the war.
Today, Nigel Farage and many Westminster politicians want to tear up the laws that protect our basic human rights.
Our rights are not Westminster’s to take away. We will stand firmly against that.

Look at the USA under Trump if you want to see what Reform offer. It has never been more important to achieve #ScottishIndependence and that starts with SNP 1 Greens 2 in 2026 to achieve a big Indy majority of MSP’s at Holyrood
