The leader of the Liberal democrats in Scotland (Jim Wallace) passed the poison cup to Alex Salmond when he said the liberals WOULD forge a coalition with the SNP if the SNP dropped their pledge to make Scotland a free nation again.

Wallace said "The question Alex Salmond has to answer is, if it came to doing things that we could find common cause in promoting – education or abolishing tuition fees or a range of other issues – is he going to throw away that chance because he insists on a referendum on independence?"

IF THE SNP DO THIS THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN ANY LONDON BASED PARTY AND SCOTLAND WILL BE SHACKLED TO LONDON FOR LORD KNOWS HOW LONG
