There will not need to be a formal coalition,the SNP would then be free to vote against trident renewal in a confidence and supply basis but with no threat to the Labour plan to go ahead with renewal from the guidance given at the time by the experts.

Labour would be able to probably accept some slowing of further austerity measures in line with SNP policy,which for me would be a really good thing too.

With that firm block of supprt from the SNP, Plaid Cymru too and the SDLP in N I reland as I said earlier, although it would be a minority Labour govt;,it would in fact be one of the strongest minority govts; ever had.

All keeping out David Cameron and his party which will be the main agreement between both Labour and the SNP, that will see them get along fine after the election.

Personally I would not be happy to have Sturgeon gaining more money and services for a five million minority just because they live north of the border.
