He played a key role in the election campaign and the drafting of the party manifesto.
He was just 24 when first elected to the House of Commons. In 1999 he was chairman of Charles Kennedy's leadership campaign.
ALEX SALMOND MP
Title: Leader, Scottish National Party
Alex Salmond's party gained two seats at the general election giving the SNP a total of six MPs.
Scotland's best known nationalist politician is SNP leader for the second time, having resigned from the post in July 2000 after 10 years in the job.
Briefly an MSP, he gave up Edinburgh in favour of remaining at Westminster but claims he will
return to the Scottish Parliament in 2007.
GEORGE GALLOWAY MP
In one of the most remarkable results of the election, George Galloway overturned Labour candidate Oona King's 10,000 majority.
Standing on an anti-war ticket in Bethnal Green and Bow, he vehemently attacked Tony Blair in his acceptance speech.
This week he appeared before a senate committee hearing over accusations he profited from Iraq oil. He started his political life in the Labour party but was expelled in October 2003.
BBC One's Question Time is broadcast on Thursdays at 2235 BST.
