The SNP leaps ‘off the richter scale’

Congrats to newly-elected John Mason MP, who has over-turned a Labour majority of 13,507 to win a swing of 22.54% and Glasgow East for the SNP.  I doubt that this alone will bring an end to the Labour Government at Westminster, but surely not even it was expecting such a drubbing at the hands of the Scottish people.  We will no doubt hear from Labour and the press that it’s all to do with the economic downturn and/or an unpopular Prime Minister; both, of course, will ignore the influence of the successful and popular SNP Government in Edinburgh.  Alex Salmond and his party continue to lead Scotland for and on behalf of the whole nation - long may that continue.
