'Voters Feel Ignored by Scotland’s Political Establishment. They Feel Betrayed'
- The upcoming June 5, 2025, by-election for the Holyrood seat covering Hamilton, Stonehouse, and Larkhall is primarily a contest between the Scottish National Party and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party.
- The contest follows SNP MSP Christina McKelvie’s death and occurs amid declining Labour support and Reform UK’s rising momentum in the area.
- SNP leadership, including John Swinney and Humza Yousaf, criticized Reform UK’s anti-immigration rhetoric and urged voters to reject racist politics ahead of the election.
- John Swinney described the upcoming vote as a direct competition involving the SNP and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, while Labour and other critics denounced Farage’s campaign methods as divisive and racist.
- The election outcome will indicate voter response to Reform’s rise and Labour’s decline, impacting future dynamics in Scottish politics and the pro-UK bloc.
