First Minister
Alex Salmond as First Minister? Despite my lack of doubt, I should have known that the LibDems would duck the difficult decisions and avoid conflict in the hope of being all things to all men. Unable to see a fence without sitting on it, they avoided conflict and the distinct possibility of (a very uncomfortable) glory, preferring to sit on their hands .
The Greens have pushed hard on the ship-to-ship transfers in the Firth of Forth, and I was appalled at the vague response from the SNP. Call me a cynic, but I suspect that Forth Ports will make their mind up sometime very soon, "In the interests of their shareholders", and the proposed legislation will be too late.
The current term is going to be mighty interesting, as alliances shift. Labour have done exactly the right thing in sitting back and choosing when to snipe, and if they do it well* then they will benefit hugely at the next election (whenever they force it).
*Define "well" :-)

isn't it a cistern holding an amount of water:) The phrase comes to mind broken cisterns that hold no water!
