Grim that the SNP claimed they suspended their Kirkcaldy candidate antisemitism, but didn’t officially sack him, so he showed as SNP on the ballot and counts so far having won.

He was suspended after nomination lodged so I don’t think party affiliation on papers could be changed by that point?

I don’t think that makes any difference once the nomination is in. Could be wrong though, of course.

The party rules only allow candidates to be suspended I believe. Asked an agent here.

Trying to imagine how the media would treat a Labour candidate who was dropped for antisemitism, won, when the party did the bare minimum to distance themselves from him

I dunno, I have no idea how it played out with the party locally (and have no horse here) but I do know NS intervened a couple of times to say don’t support him. And I think Labour had a similar thing with a candidate in Falkirk?

Labour fully withdrew in Falkirk and the candidate got no support/volunteers, listed as Independent. Kirkcaldy and the situation is a very strange beast and will be a huge headache for the SNP.

Ah, I thought it was a comparable post-nomination situation, I stand corrected.

Yes, but as I said, they were never going to win anyway and everyone stopped campaigning for them
