The SNP has a vibrant and thriving presence in Glasgow, with active
branches across the city. Members come from all walks of life and all
colours and creeds.
Glasgow SNP campaigns regularly on a wide variety of issues. Local
issues have included the highly successful Queen Mother's Hospital
campaign, campaigns on retaining the city's Accident and Emergency
Units, and a campaign against the Housing Stock Transfer.
Nationally and internationally, Glasgow SNP has been active
against the war in Iraq, and fighting for a fair deal for pensioners.
Finally, the SNP is always campaigning on the issue of Independence,
promoting national self government as a way for Glasgow and Scotland to
release their full potentials, and for the people of Scotland to live
prosperous and peaceful lives with access to decent healthcare, a world
class education system, and free from the fear of crime and poverty.
Glasgow Regional Association organises the SNP on a city wide
basis, and works closely with parliamentarians, councillors and party members to
promote our message to the city of Glasgow.

The SNP is a democratic left-of-centre political party committed to
Scottish Independence. It aims to create a just, caring and
enterprising society by releasing Scotland's full potential as an
independent nation in the mainstream of modern Europe.
The SNP was founded in 1934, and has had continuous parliamentary
representation since 1967. Currently in the Scottish Parliament we have
25 MSPs and are the Official Opposition in the Scottish Parliament. At
Westminster we have six MPs, two MEPs within the European Parliament,
and over 180 local councillors throughout Scotland.
The party has been at the forefront of the campaign for Scottish
self-determination for almost seventy years. The evolution of the SNP
has been paralleled by the political evolution of Scotland herself -
from an almost totally unionist country to a nation on the brink of
independence.
The Scottish people have invested a lot in their Parliament but there
is a growing realisation that, although devolution was a job worth
doing, it is a job half done.
The SNP exists to argue the case for completing the powers of the
Scottish Parliament and returning Scotland to the normal status of an
independent country. Independence means Scotland will have a direct
voice in Europe and the international community, and the power to
tackle Scotland's social and economic problems by making Scotland's
wealth work for Scotland's people.
