  2. On Tuesday, the #ScottishParliament elected #JohnSwinney as #FirstMinisterOfScotland.

    That's the 5th successive term with an #SNP First Minister.

    And it's 23 years since the last election of a #ScottishLabour First Minister: Jack McConnell in 2003.

    Labour dominated Scotland for 50 years. When Holyrood was established, Labour was the natural party of government.

    Now electing a Labour FM is a fading memory, held by people with greying hair. Labour's colour is turning to sepia.

The reason I think the SNP *should* bring #ScottishLabour into government is that by throwing a few plums to them in terms of ministerial jobs they could get serious pressure applied to #Westminster to get the referendum agreed.

    Mind you, I suspect #Swinney doesn't really want another indyref anyway, and that that is what was behind the stupid 'only SNP votes count' nonsense.
