Who:

Nicola Sturgeon, currently the UK’s only credible opposition leader.

What:

They’ll be looking to keep all of the seats they won in the last election.

Why:

Firstly, that’s what parties do and the SNP don’t want to be seen as a one-hit wonder. Now Baron Greenback has finally buggered off and handed the party into competent hands, they’ve got the opportunity to prove it.

Secondly, Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU. They also voted not-so-overwhelmingly to remain a part of the UK. The SNP could use another landslide Scottish victory to push harder for a second independence referendum, this time with a fair shot at it being successful.

How:

By not being the Tories and riding high on a tide of Scottish nationalism, Brexit anger and Bucky.

Predictions:

They’ll keep most if not all of their seats and we can then look forward to another 5 years of constant bitching while the Conservatives block a second independence vote.

Bonus points for everyone if they agree to work as part of an anti-Tory coalition to fight Hard Brexit, in exchange for support for a second independence vote at the earliest opportunity.
