History

The Party was officially founded in 2020. The party was officially registered by the Electoral Commission on the 7 May 2020.[2]

On 8 January 2021, Roddy McCuish became the first elected representative of the ISP, when he joined the party while on Argyll and Bute Council, having originally been elected as an independent and then later moving to the party. He had previously been both a Scottish National Party representative and a independent.[3]

In November 2020 the Party came under fire for quoting Kenny MacAskill's published view on constituency versus list voting.[4] MacAskill issued a statement saying that the advert was made without his consent.[5]
