Campbell warning on independence

I see Menzies Campbell has sort of said that the Lib Dems should not go into coalition with the SNP, if the SNP wish to retain their insistence on Independence.

Now I can't quite see the SNP wishing to drop that particular point as it is their main campaigning point.

However, he also put in a few get out clauses which is fairly typical of the Lib Dems, who appear to be able to move the goalposts at the drop of a thumb.

After the election when Labour has been properly buried the Lib Dems will do anything to try and stay in coalition, they won't worry too much about again being the whipping boys in any coalition, as long as they can get their snouts deeper into the Holyrood trough they will be happy.

Now Ming shouldn't be too bothered about an independent Scotland because surely even he'll be retired by the time it actually happens. Not quite so true for the majority of the Labour MPs from Scotland.

I've posted today on why the Lib Dems even exist. Of course the answer is simple. It's blowing in the wind
