...... Just faltered a little more, Jim Murphy as next leader, SNPS and the Tories will be laughing their heads off... Another Labour man with his head immersed in the UK party and Ed Milliblands derrière.... Can't Scottish Labour find a politician with the cojones and ability to take the Scottish Labour Party forward.... Ah well when folk thought I was kidding about one party politics North of the border.... Gromit I'd change your sums, if Labour get 10 seas next year I'll be shocked!!!

You seem to be by-passing an election.
Jim Murphy has thrown his hat into the ring, but there are other candidates.

Possibly a bit early to gloat before the Scottish Labour Party has made its choice.

Labour to win just four seats

Rather bizarre, as the SNP is a one-issue party whose issue has just been put to the public and trounced. So people will vote for them without wanting their policies?

I wouldn't say trounced jno, they lost significantly but since the vote the SNP have had a huge upswing in support. Though I am an SNP voter, I voted no in the referendum, I feel we are much richer as a people as part of the UK than splitting us all up.
The SNP, under some control from Westminster have done not a bad job but they could do a lot better within the remits they have, for all they bleat on about the NHS issues THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE for the mess, they have had control of it for 8 years.
However, I'm even more dead set against a one party state and that's what Scotland is rapidly becoming. Will I vote SNP in 2015, probably, maintaining that voice in Westmister is important but in 2016, I hope I have a real choice between the SNP and someone else, someone that will be different, some charisma in leadership, some policy that addresses what people want to see changed. Labour in their current guise can't deliver that, the Tories never will. Pretty sad state to be honest!!

Churchill was voted out after WW2; his job was done. The same could well have happened to Salmond (though in the absence of immediate credible opposition it would probably have taken one more parliament to do it).
Instead losing the referendum has had the perverse effect of strengthening the SNP, which is exactly what you didn't want (and I suspect what many others didn't want either).
The reality, I think, is that Scots stuck with Westminster they distrusted rather than risk taking responsibility for choosing their own government. So now... they're stuck with a government they didn't want, because they voted for it.
