Alex Salmond, upon leanring that the SNP had the largest number of seats in the Scottish Parliament, held a press conference saying that this was a great result for the SNP and a great result for Scotland and that Labour had been thoroughly defeated.
Yet Labour only lost 4 seats overall, dropping from 44 to 40. In real election terms, that’s nothing.
The real losers were the minority parties and the independants. We’ve now only got one independant MSP now. There are no Scottish Socialists. Now, I disagree with most of what they stand for, but I respect their right to have a voice in the parliament.
This is a total disaster, the parliament is now a mostly two party fighting ground, with the smaller parties now even smaller and some forced out altogether.
How can he call this a great result for Scotland?
