It wouldn't be about giving them the choice, just clarifying what they were looking for.

Last thing we need is the possibility of another union breakup to manage :erm:

Bercow clearly believed that he had to give Blackford the choice at first, but on advice from the officials present, understood that he had the authority to defer the vote to the end of PMQs.

Blackford fancies himself as a procedural hack but he was out-played. He was granted his vote, but not immediately. I don’t think he anticipated that. I do think the mass walk out was primed however, to be triggered under any of several possible outcomes.

What a shame that so many Scottish voters had no representation at Parliament’s most important weekly event, all because of childish grandstanding by desperate Nats who are still trying, and failing, to whip up outrage over Westminster’s desire to retain control over food labelling post-Brexit.

Wow, what a bunch of children, how old are these people, like 10 or something ?

And then post some selife like it was some 30 member march for some civil rights that they concocted up:

You really have to feel for the people represented by the SNP.

Dear oh dear.

The SNP is a one-policy party, and when they don't get what they want they throw their toys out of whatever pram they're in at the time.

I am no fan of Bercow, but the SNP here acted totally like children.

Re: SNP Protest & Walkout of House of Commons during PMQs
 

Think it was also a bit of a distraction technique by the SNP away from this bad news

They basically got sent to the naughty step and still didn't get their own way.

For once we are on the same page.:tu:

They are the one thing as a Scot that I am totally embarrassed about.

Re: SNP Protest & Walkout of House of Commons during PMQs
 

The thing I find difficult to understand is why so many Scots keep voting for them. I find the Scots Nats the most irritating politicians in the country. And I'm not talking about their politics, either - there is nothing wrong with people putting their views to the people and standing for election on that basis, and then working hard to achieve those goals.

No, it is their arrogance and sense of entitlement that gets to me. I wouldn't mind so much, but they are not even governing Scotland very well either, are they?

Lack of better options.

Again :)

Every time I watch something like this I leave thinking this is what MPs actually do all day, dialogue is fairly accurate too.
