Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Scottish National Partys Election Campaign: Renewable Energy and IndependenceThe Scottish National Party (SNP) is prioritizing renewable energy in its upcoming election campaign, with leader John Swinney claiming independence could reduce household energy bills by one-third. Drawing parallels to Norways successful management of oil wealth, Swinney criticized the UKs approach and warned Labour leader Keir Starmer against a second Thatcher stance on energy profits levy. However, climate campaigners expressed concern over Swinneys advocacy for oil companies and the SNPs sale of ScotWind leases. Swinney offered few details on securing independence, facing opposition from the UK Labour government. Meanwhile, Scottish Labour launched its campaign, focusing on an independent NHS investigation and calling for bold and meaningful change.
