"Oh, Mr. Salmond, do you think you can form a government?". "Oh, yes, Your Majesty! I've cobbled together the best ragbag grouping I could get my hands on. None of them will defy my leadership. If I can become Prime Minister, I'll give up on this devolution business. I'll be your best Prime Minister yet. Is it a deal?".
"Well, I don't do deals, Mr.Salmond, but if you have, as you say.....you can command a majority of your peers.....well, we'll see. I will, of course, being speaking with Mr. Brown, Mr. Cameron and Mr. Clegg...all on Privy Council terms, you understand...."
All too much of a daydream, I think. Better stop now before I fantasise as much Salmond does!
