It seems that Nicola Sturgeon's party is going to struggle to achieve an outright majority in its own right
DUE to the pandemic it's been a strange election campaign, and an equally strange results day - or more exactly days. Instead of the political junkie sitting up all night and waking up bleary eyed to the results. We have instead been treated to the electoral results equivalent of a protracted root canal treatment without any anaesthetic. Results are slowly dripping in and by teatime the day after the vote it's still not clear what the final result is going to be in detail. Scottish political anoraks have been reduced to feeling like annoying children in the back seat of the cart, chorusing, "Are we there yet?" at five minute intervals.
