Personally, I can't see Margaret Ferrier being readmitted to the SNP. Technically she can sit as an independent MP for the remainder of the term.https://twitter.com/NicolaSturgeon/status/1311740695900811279 …
She should not wait for a formal criminal conviction. She needs to resign the seat. I will ensure the launch of a petition by Monday if she does not. I have no doubt she would not withstand a petition under the 2015 Recall Act.

Interesting point.

Best she just goes. May even be able to call a favour from her self confessed mate
@HumzaYousaf and escape a conviction. Call it a plea bargain

Would this be an eligible matter for recall? Given that the penalty for her actions is a fine? Morally though she should take the seat of the Chilton Hundreds.

Can't you only launch a petition if an MP is convicted?

See prev. answers. An online petition by me is not a formal recall procedure. But I have no doubt within Rutherglen there'd be many signatures.
