jmothecat Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 SNP confirmed as having third party status at the House of Commons. I know Salmond has ruled out becoming SNP commons leader, but surely he must be tempted. If I were in the SNP I could think of little more mouth-watering than the prospect of Salmond at PMQs. There's been a lot said about how the SNP will be the main party holding the Tories to account, that's clearly not the case, but with Salmond at the forefront they could create that sort of perception. Would to wonders to consolidate SNP support surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Looking at the Wikipedia pages of the various General Elections, the last umpteen have listed the top three places with a leaders' photo in the side bar. This time they've only listed the top two, and put Nicola lower down beside Clegg. Someone's taken the hump at the Scots finishing third, methinks.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I know Parliament has thousands of bizzare rules and rituals, but why was the SNP's third party status even in question? They have many more seats than all the small parties put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cairn Terrier Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Pumping SamCam on the sly? Misread that as "Pumping SamCam on Sky". Thought "I'd pay to see that", then felt oddly queasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 SNP confirmed as having third party status at the House of Commons. http://bbc.in/1E23jqP Analysis: Scots in the House From the BBC's Robin Chrystal The SNPs tartan army has just arrived at Westminster after their stunning election victory. But what real influence will they have? The answer may be quite a bit. Their aim is to have the status that the Liberal Democrats had in the 2005-2010 Parliament. Like them then, they are now the third largest party at Westminster. That means David Cameron is likely to face two questions a week from the SNPs Parliamentary leader Angus Robertson at Prime Ministers Questions. They can also look forward to chairing two Commons committees. The obvious choice would be the Scottish Affairs Committee. If so that could lead to an explosive mix as most of the others on it will be Conservative MPs due to their numbers in Parliament. Crucially, too, it means they will have two members on the Liaison Committee - another chance to quiz the PM, and at greater length than at Prime Ministers Questions. As the third party, the SNP will also be part of what's known in Westminster as the usual channels: the MPs who know a fortnight in advance what will be debated in the Commons. All that has to be agreed with the Speaker of the Commons, but its hard to see how it could be denied. Then theres the money. The taxpayer pays to fund the work of political parties at Westminster. The formula is based on the number of MPs a party has and the number of votes they won at the election. For the SNP with 56 MPs and just under one and a half million votes, that works out at £1.7m a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 As well as the leader getting two questions at PMQs, SNP MPs will be called more often as well for individual questions. You'll be looking at at least 2/3 every session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
