    Only a harsh tone with you.

    You simply don't understand what the SNP has to do to get another step down the road. It's going to be great fun watching the hooligan element such as you wreck your own dreams.

    Sturgeon understands that she needs the English on side. You? What do you think the next step is?

    When you say English, are you referring to the populace or the establishment / old boys' network?

    After last night the English are more onside that they thought they were. Just goes to show what happens when you put down your copy of The Sun and get your information direct from the source.

    I can't wait to see more of our English cousins arriving across the border after the election.

    So how do you think the first month after the election will look?

    As an Englishman living North of the Border im a firm SNP supporter, Look at the benefits we have in Scotland compared to England. Whats not to like ?? Bring on Independance, Westminster will be demanding it after a year or two of 40 SNP Mps putting the Cat among the pigeons !

    Nicola Sturgeon has the making of a great leader

    When I say English I mean that large nation that makes up the vast majority of the UK.

    I have no idea what the first month after the election will look like.

    The Sun isn't widely available in Australia so I rarely read it.

    In fact, I think we might see a sharp increase in English immigration in the coming months.

    Yes!

    I'm going to move my whole family; bricks & mortar; everything to a new country just because of 2 hours of political soundbites.

    Fantastic :)

    ... or should I say Fan dabi dozee

    Probably no overall majority.

    Cameron gets first crack at forming a government.

    UKIP and Lib Dems fall into line and they cobble together some government.

    Your football simile is quite relevant, particularly considering your football team fails to deliver on its promises every 4 years.
    ...

    Football illustrates the differences nicely.

    English Premiership - richest deal ever just done with the sponsors; worth billions.

    Scottish Leagues - scratching around for a few million because nobody wants to pay for the product.

    If they were allowed to, your most successful clubs would join the Premiership in a heartbeat.

    that sounds like a winning formula

    the more stupid people from the south move up north
    and the most dynamic of the north move south (following a well beaten path)
