SNP Win in Scottish Parliament Elections. Is hell freezing over somewhere?
Just had to look out the window to see if there were any pigs flying. Little did I guess that when I sat down to watch the start of the election coverage that I would be awake for over 30 hours now. I tried to sleep but I was just too excited. This one came right down to the last regional vote announced. If I had a heart condition I think I would have been carted away with a coronary by now. I’m pretty stunned by the result. Putting all the ghastly spoiled ballot problems to the side for a moment. Labour lose an election…in Scotland? Jesus. I have to be honest I didn’t think the Nats were going to pull it off. It’s going to take a while to get used to. But who’s going to form our government - that’s still from certain. I think if I was Annabel Goldie of the Conservatives I would be chuckling with glee - they quietly beat the LibDems, noone was expecting that but she’d already said her party wasn’t up for coalition so if parties want Conservative support they’re going to have to say their pleases and thankyous. Sad though to see the smaller parties and independents squeezed out by the SNP/Lab fight. It’s like spinning a roulette wheel, no body know where it’ll stop.
Annoyances trying to get official regional vote counts - think the web editors have buggered off from the council sites Aberdeen City/Highland and Lothian - they’re probably on one hell of an overtime bonus so still some details of names to fill in at Election Scotland.
I’m away to crash out. Tell me I’m not dreaming all this?
