I really enjoyed seeing Alex Salmond yesterday,even trying to not seem too jubilant he still looked like the cat that got all the cream.
He has served the Scots well in his 4 years as First Minister,this is now though a big test for him and he will be aware that this time the voters leaving the Lib Dems have given him an opportunity,but it's not a solid SNP vote past something like 35% that he has in reality. He got no Labour votes,it was the total collapse of the Lib Dem votes going to him that let the SNP overtake Labour in some of their seats.
It likely is not a permanent move to the SNP from the former Lib Dem voters.
However,thanks karezza,you have helped me choose my reading matter today,I can't recall John Smith,found a book and reading up about him today though,politics fascinates me.
