#SNP16 in numbers

Tomorrow SNP conference kicks off at the SECC in Glasgow – the biggest party conference in the UK.

And, unlike other parties, we can always look forward to thriving, inclusive and lively debate.

Here’s #SNP16 in numbers.

3,000 delegates will pack out the Clyde Auditorium. That’s more than double the 1,350 capacity of the UK Labour conference and a third more than the UK Tory conference hall, which had capacity to hold around 2,000 delegates.

35 debates, ranging from protecting Scotland’s place in Europe to tackling child poverty. The UK Labour Party held just eight policy discussions at their conference earlier this year. The UK Tories had none.
