as it looks certain the SNP will have the third most MPs does this mean they will be entitled to have a representative on every QT panal

    They would still only be representing 3-4% of the electorate so probably not.

    or to me more accurate, the percentage of seats in the british parliament ..... but there ISN'T such a requisite for question time anyway!

    but in terms of MPs they will still have the third most seats and in the past on QT panals when political partys in GB are represented on QT the 3 main parties in terms of seats always have one representative each.

    I just hope that whatever "formula" is used, it brings the end to Shirley Bloody Williams, Charles Kennedy and Pantsdown appearances.

    I wonder if Nigel Farage will maintain his position of being the most frequent guest on QT.

    In normal programmes, that means Labour and the Conservatives are virtually always represented; in the majority of editions, so are the Liberal Democrats.

    We keep these proportions - and those of smaller parties - under constant review, taking as our guide the level of electoral support at national level which each party enjoys.

    So I'd expect not

    If the Lib Dems have anything less than 20 seats they should not be on the majority of programmes.
