The blog formerly known as "Angus Nicolson - an incredulous eye on the isles" this was the blog of an ordinary, boring, former Councillor in the Western Isles of Scotland.
Angus is taking a sabbatical to be with his young family
Debate strengthens democracy, except inside the SNP, as he has discovered. If you want balance then get some scales. This is opinion - our opinion.

Odds on a victory
The Bookie has Labour ahead; I have the SNP by a nose.
If i were you I'd also put £100 on liberals making a big impact next time - if the SNP don't use their time in office well! Do it now while you have good odds!
just to let you know angus, possibly the worst of all possible outcomes SNP may have made it by the list seats - now GB (Gordon Brown - not Great Britain!) can claim "oh its not a mandate"
Yes- the WI have shown yet again that they do not deserve to have decent, hard-working men of integrity who deliver for the islands, as the electorate clearly prefer representatives of little substance. This latest one is not even pretty, like the 2005 vintage.
