Interesting to see if the SNP will keep challenging the conventions and whether their behaviour is deemed unparliamentary or used by the Speaker as an opportunity to regorm

You never know, he might have been in on it If Labour MPs were all like Dennis Skinner there'd be a whole lot more of them, particularly up here.
Chrisull May 2015 10:52pm, 19 May 2015 7,332 posts	0 Chrisull Yeah but instead of annoying the Beast of Bolsover, annoy the bloody enemy. Red Tories or not, they're not in power, Cameron is! Now let's see a better voting record from the SNP than that of 2005-2010 parliament where the SNP sided with the Tories over 70% of the time, and when it came to finance, that increased to 88% of the time. leftfootforward.org !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duchess May 2015 10:59pm, 19 May 2015 5,808 posts	0 Duchess What was the record in 2010-2015? As part of the Opposition, it would make sense for them to be voting against whichever party was in power. And North of the border, it's debatable if the Red or Blue Tories are the greater enemy.
Ultracat May 2015 8:14am, 20 May 2015 11,211 posts	0 Ultracat That Leftfootforward article was written in March before the election. Another ill informed article in my opinion, throwing mud and hope it sticks.
Chrisull May 2015 9:34am, 20 May 2015 7,333 posts	0 Chrisull Disagree, all papers have pointed out the SNP's voting record does not match what they present themselves as. It's one thing saying you're a left wing party, it's another thing actually voting in such a way. Let's see the voting record in this parliament, I suspect it won't be the solid left that many people are hoping for.
