The SNP has experienced a huge increase in members. By definition, those people have no prior history in it. Mostly, they are well to the left of what has always been its internal norm.
The SNP is also determined to pick up a number of Labour seats that voted Yes to independence. Whereas the old Liberal or, especially, Unionist citadels that it already represents at Holyrood, at Westminster or both, voted No to independence. Swings and roundabouts?
Especially with Alex Salmond gone, the SNP is becoming a new party. And it is a very different party.
