From today’s Scottish Mail On Sunday:
Blimey, a “hammering”? Well, we suppose after 14 years in power they’ll have had a good run, so who’s going to replace them as the next Scottish Government?
Oh, the sort of “hammering” where you still win in a canter and have nearly twice as many seats as the next-biggest party, and would be set – despite having to contend with a proportional-representation electoral system – to rack up the longest continuous period of government of any party in the UK (19 years) since the Tories ruled for 21 years from 1807 to 1828. That sort of hammering. Right.
