Mhairi Black, former SNP MP and deputy leader at Westminster, has left the party due to its stance on trans rights and Palestine. She expressed disagreements with numerous party decisions, indicating a feeling of capitulation on issues she values. Though she remains pro-independence, Black believes the SNP needs significant changes, particularly regarding LGBT rights, especially trans rights. Her political career began at 20 when she became the youngest MP since 1832, winning a crucial seat for the SNP during the 2015 general election amidst their significant gains in Scotland.
"Basically, for a long time, I've not agreed with quite a few decisions that have been made."
"I thought the party could be doing better about Palestine as well."
