2 lacklustre pieces of inspiration on “Scottish Elections”

    I’d suggest just being as smug and righteous as you possibly can. Act as if it is your divine right to lead the country, speak eloquently and powerfully and the others will shrug their shoulders in intimidation.

    I’m not necessarily sure that following the example set by the previous administration as a cover for their subservience to the UK government in Westminster is the best way forward. The important thing though is to stick to what you said you would do, and not give in to the demands of others. Altering main policies will disenfranchise those who have supported you. At the same time though, remember that you were elected for other policies too, and try not to be distracted by the talk in the media that your only policy is independence - all you said was a referendum.

    So, in summary, let the others squabble away while you strengthen your position. As long as you deliver, and produce sensible policies, you will not need a coalition. The state we are in may be a true reflection of democracy where no one party can be assured that it can push through dumb policies simply through a majority.

Provide common sense...

A dodo. Well known for its common sense.
