An analysis by the SNP of the Scottish elements of recent UK opinion polls is apparently putting it ten points ahead of Labour. It shows support at the following levels for each party:

SNP 37%
Labour 27%
Tories 17%
LibDems 14%
Others 5%

The SNP also states that if these figures were attained at the general election it would win 35 seats compared to Labour's 13.

Okay so aside from independence what are their policies?

How will they regenerate Scotland?

After the horlicks that Labour (old & new) and the Tories made of it?

I'm genuinely curious but deeply cynical.
I'm afraid they'll just be Tories light with Scottish accents.

The SNP is a left of centre party. If you want to know the SNP's policies then why not visit www.snp.org There you can download copies of their last manifestos for Holyrood, Westminster and Europe. Also there are details of what the SNP is doing in government etc.
I think that the point for many people who support the SNP is that they want the Scottish people to make their own decisions about their future. The unionists love to peddle the myth that the SNP are tartan tories and that you would have this government for ever more, post independence. Once independence is achieved, the SNP will have to set out their stall just like all the other parties. No doubt they will still be left of centre but what will be the important thing at this stage is that for the first time ever, Scotland will have a truly national government of their choosing.

Added to the above post they will not sell our NHS to the first private bidder. If the Tories get in down south this is their first intention. They would happily sell Scotland's NHS.

In general the SNP will not sell Scotland.

The idea of having so many MPs in Westminster is that the SNP will have the ability to trade on policies. If they lend their support to issues that are of importance to the rest of the UK they may be able to push through issues that are important to Scotland.
