I wonder if the Conservatives are discussing this at the moment .... along the lines of "if we vote for Alex as First Minister it is really going to annoy Gordon" Not that the Conservatives like the SNP but they might justify it on the "biggest party, most votes, only fair" basis. The fact that it might cause problems for Labour in Westminster being purely coincidental.
I am not sure if a Minority Government will work but it it is interesting watching the jostling for best position.
