I Know You're Angry That The SNP Keep Winning Elections is a phrase which is associated with a letter written by Scottish Conservative Party MSP Annie Wells.

The letter had went viral after it had been branded "comedic" and "laughable" as it targeted poorly towards the Scottish National Party (SNP) with Annie Wells telling Scottish Conservative supporters that they know they are annoyed at the fact that the SNP keep winning elections and that Scottish people can't stop voting for them despite also saying Scottish people hate them and that Scotland can be taken back by the SNP

Origin

On February 23rd, 2020, Annie Wells had released a public letter onto Twitter which came out only days after the party elected Jackson Carlaw as their new leader.
