Funny thing:

When I read 'Scottish National Party', I immediately thought 'Wow, even right wingers hate Trump'.

Turns out that party is left-wing.

Makes sense for Scotland though, since many Scots want to have their independence.

They're centrists, in theory. But considering our 'Labour' party behave like moderate right-wingers, and the Tories are attempting beat Reform for the title of 'most unhinged right-wingers', then they come off as very left in comparison.

Yep, international politics gets wacky pretty quickly. Similar situation with the word "republican" (small R) like in Ireland.

Not just some backbench MP either, he's the SNP leader in Westminster. Essentially making him an unofficial co-leader with John Swinney.

There was no SNP presence that I saw at Saturday's protest, whereas the Greens had several speakers. However, the Greens and SNP do work together regularly, so despite not showing at the grassroots level it's good to see there's still resistance to Trump within the SNP.
