Not going to happen. These are the thoughts of someone from another party who has just been made a peer giving advice to @theSNP. It is advice that will not and must not be taken. Membership of the @UKHouseofLords remains incompatible with membership of the SNP. The end.
@PGibsonSNP @theSNP @UKHouseofLords I understand why they would be reluctant. They already lord over the Scottish population.
If the SNP did go down this road, which IMO they won't, it really would be the end as it would signal that they were content with all the trappings of WM corruption. That after all is what the HoL represents. PC have done this, and are therefore lessened by it. And no ridiculous justification of this act will change that.
@PGibsonSNP @theSNP @UKHouseofLords Absolutely must not happen .House of Lords should be abolished ASAP
@PGibsonSNP @theSNP @UKHouseofLords Indeed. However, any current SNP MP who is not seeking re-election could be recommended by HM Govt for a peerage. That former MP could resign from the SNP and then take their seat in the House of Lords as a Crossbench peer.
@PGibsonSNP @theSNP @UKHouseofLords Have to laugh at being lectured by Plaid Cymru... 🤣
@PGibsonSNP @theSNP @UKHouseofLords Why feel threatened by this? Theres no support for idea and we’re very different from Wales.
@PGibsonSNP @theSNP @UKHouseofLords I can think of a couple who would turn heel in a heartbeat given half a chance
@PGibsonSNP @DanielJMath1 @theSNP @UKHouseofLords 1000% correct
@PGibsonSNP @theSNP @UKHouseofLords Why the Sunday national has gone with this for the front page, is odd.
