Scotland Today: Suspended SNP MSP says he would consider joining SocialistsSuspended SNP MSP Campbell Martin says he would consider joining the Scottish Socialist Party. Mr Martin is due to face a special disciplinary hearing next weekend which could result in expulsion from the SNP.
The move to suspend him came after he said he would consider leaving the party if John Swinney remained as leader. He told Scottish Television's Politics Now programme he had more in common with Tommy Sheridan than the SNP leader.
He said: "I have a lot in common with the Scottish Socialist Party. I get on well with a number of the SSP members in the Parliament and I'm good friends with Lloyd Quinan who left the SNP and joined the SSP. But I'd like to think my future's in the SNP."
Asked who he had most in common with, either Tommy Sheridan or John Swinney, he said: "On a personal basis I would say Tommy Sheridan."
