The Scottish National Party made a hash of attempting to rush the by-election in the former Speaker’s Glasgow North East seat when they unsuccessfully moved the writ on the last day of the Commons sitting before the summer recess this week. If it had succeeded the election would have had to be held by August 13 when many voters would be on holiday. Could it have anything to do with the SNP’s desire to have a vote before they lose another candidate. By the last count, before Tribune went to press, they were on their third.
