John Swinney pledges a 2026 referendum if SNP wins majority in Scotland’s parliament.
First Minister John Swinney has tied his leadership to achieving Scottish independence, announcing that an SNP majority in the 2026 Holyrood election would trigger a new referendum.
The plan was approved at the SNP’s 2025 conference in Aberdeen, with deputy leader Keith Brown calling it bold and necessary.
While a proposal to make the election a de facto referendum was defeated, Swinney emphasized a commitment to full independence, not incremental progress.
Despite internal concerns over declining membership and party momentum, the SNP remains ahead in polls, with Swinney asserting only an SNP vote can secure Scotland’s right to decide its future.
