I didn't think that the PM would call an election whilst the Holyrood Honeymoon was still in force, the danger of losing seats to the 'Alex Salmond IS First Minister' party, formerly the 'Alex Salmond for First Minister' party, formerly the SNP being too great. The Labour party need their Scottish MPs. Also, there is the chance of the black-ops team that did the biz against John Smith, Robin Cook etc. being deployed against Mr Salmond in due course, no-one would be surprised if he keeled over of a heart attack, surely?
As he is not calling the election, are we to assume that he hasn't been given the date of the Iran war, or that we have been given a chit signed by the school nurse excusing us from games?
