I finally got round to doing a wee bit of research re this whole "storm in a teacup" covering the SNP membership and the salivating unionist bastards/anti-Scotland media-Brit govt collaborators who seem to think the whole SNP-Scotindy movement is done. Absolute bollocks IMO! Every opportunity is taken by them (media and political opponents) to take the focus off the dismal membership figures of the other main political parties. Btw the SNP is, by far, still the biggest supported political party in Scotland even with the revised figure of 72k members!!! A look at the House of Commons Library (note anyone can peruse this info) website in their section titled "Party membership as estimated share of relevant electorate" updated to the end of 2022, shows that as a percentage, the SNP had 2.46% of the electorate as members - FAR AHEAD OF ALL OTHER POLITICAL PARTIES SUCH AS LABOUR (35% OF THE SNP FIGURE), CONSERVATIVE(15.6% OF THE SNP FIGURE), LIBDEM (6.5% OF THE SNP FIGURE) AND GREENS (3.9% OF THE SNP FIGURE) - note those figures are extrapolated from an online graph believed to be accurate to +/- 0.1%. Reasons to be cheerful - damn right they still give good reasons to be cheerful and to kick on from there to a higher membership level again!!!!! After such a long period in government, this record of the SNP has no equal that I'm aware of, and is one that all members should be proud of. If all current members in positions of power can remember that the cause is much bigger than their individual egos, and in some cases their abilities, then we are on a positive course to succeed and win in the end.
