The SNP lost their case against the BBC to get time on a debate. I suppose they had to.
But outside of tub-thumping for either side, does it not raise a serious point? The BBC has simply failed to take account of the changed constitutional position in the UK. They haven't merely done it other than I would have liked, they haven't tried at all.
Whether you like it or not, the SNP is the Scottidsh Government, and they are standing in all the Westminster seats in Scotland. Plainly, in one part of the UK they are not a minor party.
I don't know what the answer is. Frankly It'd be laughable if they got parity with the other main parties over the whole of the UK. But it's stupid verging on unconstitutional to have them ignored in Scotland as if they were the MRLP.
