An article in today's Scotsman talks about increasing co-operation between the Tories and the SNP and next month Cameron and Salmond are planning to meet up to discuss their new 'union'.
Next week the SNP is removing the bar against a potential coalition with the Tories - something that just a few months ago would have seemed unimaginable.

What this proves is that both Salmond and Cameron are completely without principle. They'd both push their grannies down the stairs if it meant they got the power they both longed for.
Salmond wants to work with the Scottish Tories as it will keep his minority government afloat and he knows that a Tory victory in a general election will make it more likely that Scotland will break away completely. But I wonder if the Scottish electorate will be so approving of seeing the Tories back in government again after what they did to Scotland last time they were in power?
And of course, the Tories want the SNP to succeed as it makes life difficult for Labour. But secretly, I think we all know this is another sign that the Tories actually want the UK to split up as they think they'll perform better in England alone.

So we are seeing the beginnings of an 'unholy coalition' between Scottish Nationalists and the Conservative & Unionist party. I hope Labour show them up for this. The message should be in Scotland "Vote SNP, get Tory" and across Britain "Vote Tory and break up our country".
