The membership of the Scottish National Party (SNP) has increased three fold since Scotland held a referendum on independence on September 18, making the party the third largest in the UK.
The SNP, which led the call for independence and won the last election campaigning for a independence referendum, now has over 75,000 members.
“We’ve now well overtaken the Lib Dems at UK level - whose membership is 44,000 - and the Tories and Labour are tearing each other apart as their vow to the people of Scotland gets caught up in the infighting between Westminster factions," SNP business convenor Derek Mackay said, report The Scotsman.
“With this extraordinary growth in membership, it is clear that it is the SNP that the people of Scotland trust to hold the Westminster establishment to account on their vow of substantial more powers for Scotland."
