I fear that a Lib Dem victory is beyond hope. So we have to hope for a Labour win with enough of a reduced majority to rein in Tony's ego.
I was going to say I would only vote for Labour in this election if the only other likelihood in my constituency was a Tory victory, but having looked at the results for my constituency at the last election it looks like I won't have that choice to make. I have to choose between the Scottish National Party or the Tories, sheesh.
I guess I'll be voting SNP, what a world.

You don't neccessarily sever those links. The scottish parliament has a form of PR, the Additional Members System (AMS), as while you do vote for your local MSP you also vote with a party preference for the allocation of 'List' members of parliament who have a wider geographical area of responsibility.

Re: go tories!!!!
I'm writing this at 9.00 am on Thurday May 5th, so in the UK the polls are about to close.
Eh??! I hope not, I've got to get home from work before I go out and vote. The polls don't close until 10 pm
