Firstly a pathetic 52% turnout.. Well done to all who voted. Those who didn't should IMO be ashamed.. Ok the choices are poor it can be argued but when in effect one on two don't bother their erse you really do despair.

Then out of the 52% who did bother to vote we have the winning party the SNP who took no more than a third of the actual votes who have we are told the 'Moral authority'. I know it was the same with Labour in 1999 and 2003 so it's not just sour grapes on my part.

FWIW i think the SNP do have the right to try and form an administration but what really does my head in is the bloody Liberal Democrats..

The Liberal Democrats have gone from being the Third party to being the Fourth party and it looks likely that should the SNP offer a bit of flexibility on any constitutional referendum will yet again take their place in cabinet.. Sorry but this just feckin stinks.

FWIW i reckon it will be a tactical error of the SNP to go into coalition with the Lib Dems. Much better to go it alone IMO.

Jack McConnell should do the honourable thing and resign. The Labour Party didn't perform that badly (only down 2% on 2003) but IMO should the SNP fail to form a Government then McConnell has absolutely no moral authority to be part of any 'Unionist Rainbow Alliance'.

IMO if all of this is Democracy then feck it.
