Salmond's Victory in Gordon gives him the keys to Holyrood
Alex Salmond has led his party to victory in the Scottish Elections but has still to form a government in Scotland as he will have to go into coalition with other parties. It is likely to be the trough slurping Lib Dems as the major partners. I can't see the SNP managing to get into bed with any of the other parties. Even this won't be enough to give them a clear majority so it may just be a minority Government.
Alex Salmond meanwhile has claimed a great victory for himself by getting elected in Gordon. He took on a long shot and his victory gave the SNP's the seat they needed to best Labour. Anyone disputing his right to be First Minister will have a tough job.
So onwards to the Referendum. Once we have got that out of the way and rejected it, we can really find out what the Scottish Political Landscape is like, as the SNP lose their reason for existing and scatter to the other parties. Could be interesting, especially as England will be suffering under MaCavity for the next couple of years.
Hat Tip to Blue Moon on PB for pointing out the impact of the result in Gordon.
P.S. Lost in England one grumpy dour Brown bear, answers to the name of MaCavity. Known to hibernate in strange faraway places when bad news is on the go.

Or maybe it will be interesting when the English kick the Scots out of the Union. Independence for Scotland either way.
Please take MaCavity back, we dont want him down here.
We've been trying to rid of him for years but he just keeps bouncing back. Now at least we can say he ahs no mandate in Scotland

either way suits fine anon.
they could form a coalition with the lib dems, greens and margo for 65 leaving the tories and labour to join as an opposition.
btk
where did Whytey boy come in at? Oh yeah, 3rd.....ooops and there was I recalling the days when it was a Tory seat.
While the Salmon and the rest of the SNP will be relishing the opportunity of power they’ll do well to remember that two thirds of the country didn’t vote for them and will be all too quick to remind them
Noddy, it meant that our dear MSP retained his seat. I am sure the Edinburgh property market will sleep easier.
