You must be crazy? Jack McConnell was not a good leader.

The voting system was not complicated at all. I mean, considering one of the votes explicitly stated who you wanted to become first minister then it's hard to say people preferred someone else. Of course, there are parts of this country where I'd expect the average IQ to be below about 50.

I have a feeling the Scottish Parliament itself is a running joke in Westminster. I mean, it won by a landslide vote. But then, all those people who've never voted on anything before in their life more than likely voted "Yes" to devolution because the BBC decided to air Braveheart the night before. What better way to inspire Scottishness?
