The SNP is a democratic left-of-centre political party committed to Scottish independence. It aims to create a just, caring and enterprising society by releasing Scotland's full potential as an independent nation in the mainstream of modern Europe. The SNP was founded in 1934 and has had continuous parliamentary representation since 1967. At the first Scottish Parliament elections, held in 1999, the SNP returned a total number of 35 MSPs and is now the Official Opposition in the Scottish Parliament. 1, record 1, English, - Scottish%20National%20Party
