SNP's Strategic Approach to Scottish Independence

The new SNP leadership, led by Humza Yousaf, is focusing on building a consistent majority for Scottish independence before pushing for another referendum, as they believe support needs to be higher and more sustained. Yousaf has introduced an extra step in the process of forcing another referendum, and his allies acknowledge that the position in Westminster is not going to change under the current government. They argue that events may help change that, such as a Labour government being forced to accept another referendum as the price of support in a hung Parliament.
