A CORRESPONDENT wrote in recently saying vote Green and you may get blue. Well I can think of a lot worse scenarios than a green/blue coalition.
The massive support for the Scottish Nationalist Party means it is likely that Westminster will have Alex Salmond as our Deputy Prime Minister.
The SNP has stated it will not support a Conservative government so we will likely have a SNP/Labour coalition.
It was the Scottish MPs who voted to introduce university tuition fees in the UK while simultaneously keeping tuition free in Scotland.
Ed Miliband has already promised lots of extra Scottish nurses if he gets elected. Scotland already benefits from the Barnett formula at the expense of the British taxpayer.
So if the idea of Alex Salmond running our country worries you, vote green, blue or yellow.
