Some of the complaints that have been directed towards the SNP have been childish, such as reports they have driven out Labour MPs from their favoured “Sports and Social” bar. That bar is actually favoured by commons staff and parliamentary researchers, and the SNP and their own staffers have been a welcome addition. Other jibes have been more sinister. Suggestions that the SNP should be denied its place on the Intelligence and Security committee because of its stance on Trident was a shameful slur.
