Yup, appalling, that's what I thought. Who the fuck are you to decide who has the right to choose who rules them.Oh.

In other news Jack McConnell (current First Minister) won his seat by a mile.

Right, I'm out of here. Someone has fucked up my last post and I can assure you it wasn't me. I can't even begin to imagine why anyone would alter it.
It was perfectly legible the last time I looked at it and it certainly didn't contain any smillies.

Yeah, cool. The Scottish Socialist who wore Armani suits, drove a fancy car and sent his wean for single MMR jabs privately, even tho' he's the great NHS supporter. He is a cunt of Galloway proportions.Hey JP, I'm sure you already know but, good ole Tommy Sheridan never got re-elected!!!

I take it his party didn't get fuck all seats so someone could stand down for him. Fuck neither did the SSP, that's a shame.
SNP 47
Scottish Labour 46
Conservative 17
Lib Dem 16
Green 2
Ind 1
To get a majority coalition they need 65 seats in total. Bearing in mind that Lib Dem have stated they will not support any move for independence and the Tories full name is the Conservative and Unionist Party. The SNP will have to do a shit load of compromising to get anything done. Oh dear, who would have thunk that when the system was set up.
The next month will be interesting. Who will be voted First Minister and will Salmond be able to get enough support to get the majority to make any Executive practical.
If there is no First Minister in 28 day guess what happens next.

In reality the Ind is Margo McDonald, a former SNP stalwart. We should probably bear that in mind too.

Looking for loopholes
Voted as ever. I don't view it as a chore - more as purchasing the right to complain like feck about the useless eedjits.
Margo and the Greens should feel more comfortable with the Nats than any other party so it begs the question of the Libs - are they Jack's pussies or can they strike out on their own?
Labour and the Libs don't have enough between them to form an administration and asking the Tories for help would be a bridge too far for most Labour voters.
In short, the electorate have tied them all up a treat

A Big Brother style txt vote?
The next few weeks are going to be interesting.I can't see the SNP settling for anything less than a promise for a referendum on Independence sometime in the very near future, if any deal is to be struck.
I'm also glad to see the The Electoral Commission are to conduct a inquiry into the 100,000 spoilt ballots....
Yup, those pesky Commie dogs The SSP and Solidarity were completely wiped out. Jump for joy...Tommy "The Tan" Sheridan and his ex cohort Rosie "Ugly Bitch" Kane, of the Scottish Socialists Party, both lost their Glasgow seats. Fuckin A!Glad to see some common sense prevailing among the voters of Glasgow. or perhaps all those spoilt papers were Rosie and TS's votes...

The quickest a referendum would happen is 2010. However there is little chance of the Lib Dems agreeing to one on independence.
The next few weeks are going to be interesting.
I think it's more likely that the SNP will be pragmatic and compromise, a referendum on constitutional change short of independence. Going for the "long game" as it were.
I think just being able to form a coalition Government and having the post of First Minister will be enough for them ... this time. To get this far and then risk it by doing it all again is too much of a gamble. Especially for Salmond personally.
The Lib Dems will be content to be "king makers" again and the Greens will be happy to have some form of influence.
