In his "sod you lot, I'm off" speech, Alex Salmond says ...
"For me as leader my time is nearly over, but for Scotland the campaign continues and the dream shall never die"
The campaign continues ??
Until the minority ... have imposed their will upon the majority ...
Mmmm ...
Places where that has happened in recent history ... thinks, thinks ...
South Africa under Apartheid?
Are we going to have dealings with a party whose line is ...
The majority have spoken. But, frankly, we don't care about the majority.
If the SNP have any sort of power in Scotland, they rule as a party who have expressed contempt for the wishes of the majority.
That is only ever a bad thing.

A political movement exists to get what they want via the ballot box, Jayne.
That's why there's a change of those in power on a regular basis.
We're not about to have necklace killings and racially motivated murders here in Caledonia, just more pressure for change.
It's called life in a civilised democratic country.

Pressure for change is generally from a small group, representing the underlying will of the majority, against a ruling elite who are reluctant to agree to the change.
Here, it is the opposite. It is the ruling elite, refusing to accept the will of the majority. Refusing to acknowledge the wishes of the very people who put them in power.

It's all open to interpretation.

That is one of the most silliest posts I've ever read on here! You simply give up because this time we only got 45% of the vote?
Cast your mind back to last general election - the top party was the Tories with only 36.1% of the vote - the majority of the UK didn't vote for them but they are in power! As they are in the minority, do they just give up and go home? No, of course they don't!
The SNP had about 45% of the vote in the last Scottish parliament elections, giving them more of a mandate than the Tories certainly have nationwide! What the SNP now have to do is improve their handling of running Scotland in such a way that convinces more of Scotland to vote for them in the future.....by democratic means! If support grows, as it has been doing, then fine, if not, then they reappraise their policies - just like every political party who lose out in an election do!
I'm still chuckling at the silliness of this post!!!
