Devolution and the Union

Debate between Robert Smith and Angus Robertson

Thursday 20th November 2014 Commons Chamber

[Angus Robertson]

I have already given way, so I am making some progress.

[Sir Robert Smith (West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine) (LD)]

No, you are not.

[Angus Robertson]

The hon. Gentleman talks about political parties not making progress. May I draw his attention to the fact that the Scottish National party now has more members in Scotland than the Labour party, the Liberal Democrats and the Conservative party put together? It is currently polling more than 45%, and his party will be reduced to a rump in the general election, which is what it deserves for going into coalition with a party that people in Scotland did not vote for.
