| Description | First Minister Alex Salmond should quit as an MP as his voting record shows he treats constituents "with contempt", say the Scottish Conservatives.
The Tories point out that since the SNP won power last May, he has taken part in four of 149 Westminster votes.
He has previously faced calls from Labour and the Lib Dems to resign his Westminster seat - but Mr Salmond has pointed out that other MSPs have served as MPs, including former deputy first minister Jim Wallace and former first minister Donald Dewar.
But an SNP spokesman told the BBC it was a "desperate" move from the Conservatives - and said Mr Salmond had made it clear to voters in both his constituencies that he would stand for both jobs. |
