True. However, in doing so they can highlight the issues they are anxious about.

They can highlight whatever they want. They still won't get anywhere.

Am pleased about this.
Awful idea on every level.

Rather unlikely.

The Lib Dems got no committee appointments last time because with 11 MPs they just didn't warrant it. The committees were all divided up between Conservative and Labour with the SNP (48 MPs) being awarded one place on each committee.

But......but.......but we can't have that.
It's like the thin end of the wedge.
It......it.......it's like the end of civilization as we know it. Barbarism .

The very last seat to declare has been won by the Liberal Democrats taking their total to 72.
They won Inverness, Skye and West Ross-Shire by 2160 votes.
