"If polls right we are heading to a one party state with SNP occupying the role Labour held for years which people find objectionable."
Er
You crystalballing a year ahead?
As SRD says "the electoral system will ensure other parties are represented"
Anyone arguing for FPTP for Holyrood? (Don't think so.)
More surprising is that there seems to be silence on 'PR for Westminster' - presume at this stage it would look like defeatism.
The SNP seems likely to win quite a few seats next month partly because of the electoral system but largely because of the current state of the Labour Party in Scotland (and what it may or may not have done in recorded history).
At Holyrood it (currently) has more seats in spite of PR. When the Holyrood voting system was devised (not just picked off a shelf somewhere) it was assumed that no party would ever have a majority.
The fact that it does is due to 'the people' (voters). It's what passes for democracy. Whether people are voting for the SNP or just not (enough) for the other parties is uncertain.
I think I would prefer that the SNP didn't have a Holyrood majority next year. Their record on 'transport' is hardly outstandingly good. (Not merely from a 'cycling' point of view.)
I feel sorry for Labour loyalists. I suspect some are defending (an idea of) a party that no longer exists. I am fairly sure that the prospects for Labour (in Scotland) will not improve over the next 12 months if there is any prospect that Jim Murphy could be First Minister.
By contrast I expect that the Tories will gain seats (from the three other 'main' parties) next year - even though they will only have one (or perhaps no) MP.
IF the SNP has an overall majority (or are even just the largest party still) next year, it will be because that's what 'most people want'. Or at least because the SNP is the best option of those available.
Anyone wanting anything different has a lot of work to do in the coming year.
I just hope it doesn't involve many more TV debates!
