Surge in support for Labour

I see that following on from our excellent performance in the General Election in Scotland the latest opinion poll of voting intentions for next year's Scottish Parliament Elections is showing a surge in support for Labour at the expense of the nationalists.

If the poll was reflected in the actual result Labour would once again be the biggest party in the parliament but short of an over all majority.

Given the love in that has been going on between the Nats and the new Lib Dem Con coalition at Westminster, I would put my money on a rainbow coalition being formed to keep Labour from power.

The poll result of course places a huge question mark over the political future of our Inverclyde based SNP list MSP. It would appear unlikely that he will retain his list seat never mind win the Greenock and Inverclyde Constituency (now incorporating Port Glasgow) from Labour's Duncan McNeil.

From what I hear, there won't be many of his local SNP colleagues shedding tears over his demise!
