Well I agree with Smurf, but given the fact that the SNP has portayed itself as 'Scotland's Party' and claiming a vote for them is a 'vote for Scotland', then I don't think it's a huge leap to set up as a national party. I don't think Salmond favours this, but the possibility of power without independence is a possibility, not least because it's not clear when a referendum would (or could) be held. DC says that they would simply mind the shop, but you can't do that for 4 years, so there would have to be some form of 'national' politics.

Be interesting to see if the various political ideologies that gather under their banner in the hope of being bigger fish in a smaller pond will start to fight amongst themselves when they have to make real political decisions. I suspect the soft left have the mojority so it may be just like New Labour again but with added haggis.
