Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Political Parties and Elections Bill.
Political Parties and Elections Bill
This has been a good and interesting debate, containing some valuable contributions—until we reached those from the Government and Opposition Front-Benchers, when it started to get disappointing. We have a situation in which the largest party in Scotland, by votes and seats awarded, will have no input on electoral regulations for elections in Scotland, and that is totally unacceptable to our party.
