Westminster Party leader Stephen Flynn said on Thursday his party – the third-largest party in parliament – no longer trusted it and wanted the government to take its time in parliament to vote for the speaker.
The government has not yet made a decision on the vote.
However, if the Speaker survives such a vote and does not resign, the SNP is not expected to continue calling for his resignation. I I understand. Instead, he plans to focus on campaigning on policy issues leading up to the general election.

Although his intentions were “genuine” and Wednesday’s incident was the result of “unintended consequences,” his “raison d’être” was to protect the safety of members of Congress, allies said.

“The Speaker must balance the real concerns of those around him, the anger in the streets, the sense that MPs feel threatened and intimidated, with the fact that norms and conventions must not be compromised because of mobs and intimidation. I think it had to be done.
“And that in the aftermath of this incident, no matter what happens on the streets, we must ensure that our democracy is able to counter those threats, and that we can protect it in other ways. I would like it to be made more clear.”
