The Early Days of a Better Nation?

Today was a good one. Some more campaigning in the Sun was made all the better by reading the Sunday Herald before heading off in the morning. Their editorial was reserved for an endorsement of the SNP for the election (which can be seen at http://www.sundayherald.com/election2007/election2007/display.var.1362928.0.0.php). This lifted my spirits immediately as it is not every day that the SNP gets an endorsement from a national newspaper.



This indicates the tremendous success of the SNP campaign, exemplified by the fact that practically every newspaper today carried stories of huge swings towards the SNP from Labour in the most recent opinion polls. The work of course goes on in the final days of this election campaign to ensure that these polls come to pass. Then we will hopefully be able to bring into being the words used by the Sunday Herald at the beginning of their article, borrowed from Alasdair Gray, "work as if you live in the early days of a better nation".
