Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei irava - I whakatuhia i te 1934 me te whakakotahitanga o te National Party o Scotland me te Rōpū Scottish, kua whai mana tonu te roopu i Westminster mai i te wikitoria a Winnie Ewing i te pooti-a-Hamilton i te tau 1967. Na te whakaturanga o te Paremata Scottish i te tau 1999, ko te SNP te roopu tuarua nui rawa atu, e mahi ana i nga wa e rua hei whakahee. I riro te mana o te SNP i raro i a Alex Salmond i te pooti Paremata o Scotland i te tau 2007, i hangaia he kawanatanga iti, i mua i te wikitoria i nga pooti Paremata o te tau 2011, i muri i tana hanga i te kawanatanga nuinga tuatahi o Holyrood. I muri i te pōti a Scotland i te rangatiratanga i te pōti a te tau 2014
I whakarerea a Salmond, ā, i whai wāhi atu a Sturgeon. I whakahekehia te SNP hei kawanatanga iti i te pooti 2016.
