About The Yes
The Yes is a cheerful orange creature who sets off to explore the big wide Where. But the Where is home to the Nos, who travel in packs and discourage the Yes at every turn.

It won its first seat in The House of Commons in 1945, when Robert Mcintyre won the Motherwell by-election in April before losing the seat in The General election In July of the same year. The Party has been continuously represented in The Commons since Winnie Ewing famously won the Hamilton by-election in 1967.
