After a succession of victories, the governing party got a drubbing in the general election.
This autumn , it must set out on the long, difficult road back.
Some party members think something fundamental needs to change for success to return.
Others are adamant it was not the party that made the mistake, but the voters.
For many, the answer is not a change of direction.
The SNP still has a daunting pile of problems, as a party and as a government, and it has been in power now for 17 years .
Its chances of continuing that streak at the 2026 Holyrood elections have reduced.
Even so, the SNP ’s future looks rather more promising than that of the Tories .
