Knight reviews both the rise of Nicola Sturgeon and the Scottish National Party as the majority in the Scottish parliament. He writes that "Sturgeon embodies an apparent oxymoron: a left-of-center-nationalist." Support for Scottish independence "reached fifty-eight per cent" in the fall of 2020, and Sturgeon's approval rating during the pandemic and the travails of Brexit indicate that this support may only increase.
