 The SNP campaigned widely in both the February 1974 UK General Election and subsequent October 1974 UK General Election using this slogan.At the February election the SNP gained seven seats in the House of Commons and 22% of the Scottish vote, rising to eleven seats and 30% of the vote in the October election.The idea behind the slogan has proven to be controversial in discussions surrounding the financial viability of an independent Scottish state and still resonates to this day.
