After the Storm

With the financial storm looking like it’s blowing over I wonder whether the wrath of Scotland’s new found Nationalist favour will punish Brown yet. With Lloyds absorbing HBOS, Alex Salmond was quick to hit the media with his rallying against the ‘London practices’ which saw Scotland’s second most successful business come to an end after its 313 years of existance.

Having overturned a 13,507 Labour majority in July at Glasgow East, the question reminds whether the SNP be able to harness the recent turn of events as a stick to beat the 10,664 majority in Glenrothes and herald a new premiership.
