The Rab C Nesbitt Party now has 56 MPs

THE RAB C NESBITT Party (RNP)[1] has, so it seems descended upon parliament solely for its cheap booze and subsidised junk food, excluding (but hopefully not for long), the deep fried Mars bars which are the stuff of legend in Glasgow's fish and chip shops.
                
                The RNP MPs have behaved like binge drinkers since they arrived at Westminster, if the Daily Mail is to be believed (which it should be). The lack of any kind of civility among many of the RNP members is no doubt due to the Scottish people's preparedness to vote for a chimpanzee wearing a black and yellow rosette, rather than see the Tories back in power in Westminster.
                
                 It makes one wonder how many of these 'honourable members' got through the selection process if such a process ever took place. More likely the muster was called by Alex Salmond and his henchmen after touring Scotland's bars and press-ganging through the promise of subsidised alcohol at Westminster, if they shipped out with him for London.
                
                 The RNP intake has begun living up to the entire south of the border stereotype of the Scots. They did themselves no favour by posting selfies on the internet from inside the Commons[2]; or seeking to deny an octogenarian MP from his favoured seat, which has  always been given up to him through courtesy by his fellow MPs out of respect.
                
                  They have also sought to deliberately create many petty confrontations with the 'auld enemy'. They are a chippy bunch for sure. The way they removed the Liberal Democrats from their Westminster offices (which, as the third largest party they were entitled to do) was performed as if Nick Clegg was Louis XVI being evicted from the palace of Versailles – Clegg must think himself grateful that he faced the guillotine rather than the screeching and torturous wailing of the bagpipes – he choose the quick death.
                
                   Parliament has had visited upon it a bunch of boozy Scottish malcontents that, in their consumption of alcohol, make their English counterparts seem like teetotallers. Over the next five years these bar room philosophers are set to plague  the English with their boorishness; led not from north of the border by Nicola Sturgeon, but from south of the border by Alex Salmond MP.

SALMOND'S HATRED for the English, surpasses even that of his party leader. He is a wild card which will be listened to by his fellow RNP MPs who will listen to him rather than Nicola Sturgeon -  Sturgeon's leadership of the RNP may prove to be a mere titular appointment if Alex has his way south of the border. The RNP will sooner or latter, like all Left-wing parties, whether nationalist or, like the RNP, National Socialist, will eventually fall into schism.   
                
                Salmond's whole life has been overwhelmed by a hate of the English that even surpasses in its emotional depth that of Nicola Sturgeon; which is saying something. Salmond is where he wants to be, at the apex, conducting the RNP Westminster contingent in parliament. Sturgeon has to sit north of the border biting her finger nails in expectation of Salmond's next move. No wonder he gave up the leadership of the RNP north of the border to stand for parliament; because such an arrangement can only benefit him. He is where he wanted to be – he willingly stood down from the RNP north of the border leadership, to stand for the Westminster parliament. He judged correctly that the RNP north of the border would annihilate the Labour Party and send, as it turned out 56 MPs to the London; making the RNP the third party in terms of seats; while Ukip trawled twice as many votes as both the Lib Dems and the RNP, but were left with only one MP. Such is the way of the first past the post system that may now come back to haunt its supporters including myself, in the past.
                
                Salmond's strategy is to orchestrate his party's 56 MPs into a Guerrilla campaign to oppose the Cameron government on every single issue at every opportunity, seeking to cause him and his party the maximum harm. This is the RNP strategy; the pummelling of the English is both Salmond and Sturgeon's greatest    desire. They both hate the English, although they will deny it; preferring to concentrate their animosity toward the Royal family and the Tories.
                
                Still it has not all gone the RNPs way. They hoped for a weak Labour government; one they could manipulate and make demands upon. Thankfully Ed Miliband lost, and with his loss the whole RNP strategy for Westminster was lost.
                
                Apparently Nicola Sturgeon has been discomforted by the behaviour her fellow Scots at Westminster and has successfully demanded their behaviour improves. They have fallen into line for the moment, but over the next five years their ranks will always break when they cannot get their way. They are as capable of turning on each other as they are the English. They loath the institution they sit in, and have little respect for its history, which makes anarchic behaviour a natural state of conduct for the RNP MPs.
