Its been announced that the SNP and the Green Party have entered into formal agreement which falls somewhat short of full coalition. To my way of thinking this is a GOOD THING. I'm suspicious of coalitions, people either have to lose too much of their own policies or a minor party gains far too much influence based on their vote share. Why should the fourth party have had the Deputy First Minister-ship in the past? This agreement acknowledges the support of the Green Party and offers benefits without losing the control that a party needs in Government.
I hope that this is enough to secure an SNP administration, but I still feel a bit concerned about the likliehood of a grand Unionist agreement.

We're probably better off without the Fib Dems anyway - they'll only screw us over in the end! They've been awful for playing both opposition and government.
The Tories have maintained that they won't enter a coalition, and so far the Fibs have said they're not going to go in with Labour either... it might end up messy, but at least it'll be different.
