SNP membership continues to rise with 250 new members signing up over the recent Glasgow East by-election. 

Speaking as SNP MP for Glasgow East John Mason arrives in Westminster today SNP Business Convener Angus Robertson MP said; 

 “Building on our historic victory last May, SNP membership continues to rise with last week’s momentous win in Glasgow East showing the continued support for the SNP Government. 

 “Last week’s victory showed people across Scotland what the SNP can achieve and the difference the SNP can bring with members across the country joining the effort in Glasgow East. 

 “The SNP’s victory in Glasgow East shows that people across Scotland know that the SNP is on their side and that people welcome the success of the SNP’s first year in Government. 

 “With new members continuing to join the party and SNP membership well over the 14,000 mark the SNP is clearly benefiting from the new spirit of enthusiasm and optimism in Scotland and in Glasgow East.”
