Joan McAlpine will be Chairing the Committee on Un-Scottish Activities

I watched the Parliament Channel while waiting for Dateline London to come on.  It was a session from the Scottish Parliament.  And there was Joan McAlpine in the notorious incident where she says people who do not agree with the SNP are "anti-Scottish".

Presumably if Scotland does become independent Joan McAlpine will be Chairing the Committee on Un-Scottish Activities.

However, the incident does identify one flaw in the SNP - Alex Salmond does not have complete control of his party and various individuals are liable to make embarrasing off-message remarks.

How many of these remarks will be necessary to bring his party down - the number is not great.
