Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf has seen approval ratings for his leftist, separatist Scottish National Party fall to their lowest level in a decade amid the chaotic rollout of his new hate speech laws. Studies have shown that the United States is facing a political “apocalypse.”
Amid the implementation of strict and controversial speech controls, a poll conducted by YouGov found Labor ahead of Humza Yousaf’s Scottish National Party (SNP) for the first time since the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, winning 33% of the public. It became clear that he supported it. Labour’s vote intention in Westminster compared with Yousaf’s SNP’s 31 per cent.
According to leading opinion pollster Sir John Curtis, the survey means the SNP is on pace to win just 18 seats in the UK parliament, with separatist parties gaining 30 seats. This could be a disastrous decline from the 2019 general election. Meanwhile, the Scottish branch of the left-wing Labor Party is expected to win 28 seats in the northern English country.of Scottish Daily Express He said the polls signaled a possible “apocalypse” for Yousaf and his leftist party.
Meanwhile, opinion polls suggest the SNP and Labor will each secure 43 seats in the 2026 Scottish Parliament election, with the Scottish National Party’s ability to maintain its grip on power over the devolved governments it has held for almost two decades. may be in jeopardy.
Support for far-left nationalist separatist parties ismiserable conditionThe party has also been plagued by persistent scandals that have rocked the party, particularly around corruption allegations, such as the scandal in Scotland’s National Health Service (NHS) and the arrest of former SNP First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and her husband last year.
Another poll found 70 per cent of Scots were in favor of ousting Yousaf and his government after “years of division and decline”. Additionally, less than 30% of respondents agreed to call the current government “competent.”
The poll was also partly conducted in the first few days of implementation of the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021, which came into force last Monday.

The introduction of new speech regulations, which make it a crime to “incite hatred” against certain protected groups, punishable by up to seven years in prison, was thrown into chaos from the first day it went into effect. Harry potter Author JK Rowling has openly defied the government and had police arrest several prominent Scottish transgender people for publicly identifying themselves as men.
Scottish police are reluctant to lock up Ms Rowling, one of Scotland’s most prominent figures and an international mega-star author, but the SNP government says “gender differences” violate new speech regulations. Despite cabinet ministers’ claims, she announced that she would not face criminal charges against Rowling.
The new system has also been flooded with calls, and police are reveal Police Scotland announced on Wednesday that it had received 7,152 complaints in the first week of the law’s implementation and said it would investigate all complaints, but senior officers said it would take resources away from tackling actual crime. I warned him that it would happen.
But this week the force admitted that only about 3% of complaints are actually investigated, and only 240 reports are considered as hate speech offences.
The report said the “vast majority” of complaints were made anonymously. David Threadgold, chairman of the Scottish Police Federation, which represents frontline officers, said many reports of alleged hate speech received by police were based on attempts to weaponize the law over personal grudges, or political attacks. It was claimed to have come from ordinary people trying to advance a political agenda.
Yousaf, the law’s author, has sought to argue that opposition to the regulations comes only from “right-wing” figures, including longtime liberal JK Rowling and American comedian Joe Rogan. However, one survey found that only 21% of the public supported the new law, while 45% believed that laws prohibiting free speech should be repealed.
