The Scottish LibDems should have a period sitting in opposition, regrouping and formulating ideas for the future.
The SNP should govern as a minority with support from the Greens and Margo MacDonald.

We should have no truck with the Nationialists and neither should we prop up Labour.

We’ve got far more in common with them and could achieve a much more progressive Government for Scotland than we did with Labour. And this time we should shout about our achievements more – we were generally quite useless at conveying our achievements to the wider UK audience during the period of the last executive in Scotland
