So, my local SNP candidate was just kicked out the party. SNP do really well here and he had a good chance of winning. He's still standing as an independent I think. So my question is, what happens if he wins? Will it still say SNP on the ballot? If so it seems like people who haven't heard about it will still vote for him when they otherwise wouldnt. Would he have anything to do with the SNP? What if there's a potential coalition?
Has this happened to anyone else before and if so, what happened?
