I could be mean spirited and say something like “perhaps you should go to Edinburgh zoo and get your next Scottish leader from among the Penguins there” but I wont!<br />Fraser held on in Dundee so that is some consolation even if your overall tally was reduced by 50% and he now leads a group that consists of himself alone. Willies targeting of Broughty Ferry brought him nothing as did Nick’s visit to Fife. The SNP result in Dundee is all we could have hoped for with every single candidate we fielded elected. Only the Tories fared worse than your lot losing 66% of their seats, with only the Ferry’s Derek Scott re-elected. Derek deserves to win because like Fraser he is a good councillor and I am sure in this instance that carried them both through the storm. So well done to both of them!<br />Its not all jam for the SNP as it seems that only the coalition parties got a kicking. We undoubtedly won but there were a few mis-steps and we didn’t give the Labour party the mauling we wanted to in Dundee or indeed anywhere. But there is plenty time before the next most crucial election to get that right!<br />Perhaps it is time for the Lib Dems to wake up out of their coalition dream and realise that they are on course for oblivion.Munguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16475165830302054002noreply@blogger.com
