Gordon Brown has lost the plot
Indygal here. I've been catching up with the news back home and I was angered although not at all surprised to hear about the stushie the possibility of the SNP getting into power caused amongst the unionists last year. Ming Campbell's autobiography apparently reveals secret talks with Gordon Brown last year about forming a third Labour-Lib Dem coalition "to stop the SNP".
Latest revelations are that GB (in a desperate attempt to cling on to GB) ordered the Scottish Labour Party to support a Tory First Minister if necessary - so long as they "kept the SNP out".
I wonder why. Did they really think the SNP would be that bad at government? Proved them wrong if that's the case. Don't think it is though - think it's the opposite. They obviously thought (knew) the SNP would make such a good job of it that people would wake up and smell the coffee and realise that there is no reason in the world for Scotland not to make its own decisions.
They must be horrified right now at the good deal we're getting from the SNP government. Scotland doing well? We can't have that! Stop it now before they give them a referendum - what if the people of Scotland exercise free will, put their brains in gear and actually vote for NORMALITY?!
And that is what's wrong with these power crazed British politicians in the Unionist parties across the UK - they don't actually believe in democracy, they believe that they are right but worst of all, they will do anything to deny the people of Scotland the right to decide in a referendum. The idea that Labour would support the Tories in government is abhorrent. All credit to Jack McConnell for refusing but shame on Gordon Brown - he has lost the plot!
