THE SNP will take a hit of more than £10million a year following its General Election hammering.
Staffing budgets for SNP MPs will fall by around £9million after last week's result.
This is on top of losing almost £1million a year in "short money" due to the drop in seats and votes won.
Former SNP MSP Alex Neil said: "These losses will be debilitating for the SNP."
He said of the drop in short money and of the loss of staffing allowances: "This will e present a great challenge for the SNP as staff are the backbone of the party at Westminster and in MPs' offices.
"It will have a drastic impact on the SNP being able to propagate its case and communicate with voters."
The election was a disaster for the Nationalists after it fell from 48 MPs to nine, but the losses were also financial.
Each MP from outside London can spend up to £250,820 for staffing from the publicly funded allowances system.
This money goes to MPs, not their political party, for staff.
SNP MPs as a whole were entitled to around £11.2million before the election, but with the Nationalists only winning nine seats last week the sum has dropped to £2.2million.
The staffing budget for SNP MPs is now £9,029,520 less than before the election was called.
