With any luck, the SNP will start to look like Labour, circa 1981. Which would be hugely entertaining.
In other news, today's internet rant is brought to you by the number 37.8, which is the percentage of the 4.2 million enfranchised Scottish voters who were sufficiently motivated to actually vote for independence last Thursday. I can understand people not being excited about the establishment and status quo, but dear old Mr Salmond did promise us that Scotland would vote for independence, if only it got the chance. Well, it had the chance, and Scotland didn't even come close...

Salmond always did talk a good fight.
