Incidentally, and I hope and am sure I don't really need to say this, but the only reason any media south of the border gives a s*** about any of it, thus covering it on the news, is to chip away at the SNP powerbase. As an overall objective, I'm not dead set against it in principal, but be under no illusion, it's the Tories that'll benefit and why they're so happy to make news of it. Like f*** does the Spectator give a crap about Scottish politics.
Labour's lost voters are truly lost, they can't jump back from the SNP because they've a new ideological mindset. Labour are dead up here unless they accept indy, with the understanding there are still unionists in the party. Stop making it an either or, but rather positive case on both.
That all said, I can't in good conscience want the SNP to lose with the Tories winning. That's a good bye to free bus passes for the old, free prescriptions, probably even and end to free tuition fees. f*** that. So, will be happy to vote SNP in place of all the morons ditching them for the Salmond & Cherry conspiracy express.
Plus, anyway, a split in the party doesn't cause the same problems. PR up here, might just have to share power with the same people they've been sharing power with.
