Ever since the Scottish Nationalists lost the independence referendum they have had trouble coming to terms with the fact that they lost the independence referendum (you need to keep saying it and eventually it might get through). From the moment the result was announced, humourless SNP politicians and some Yes voters north of the border have been searching for ways in which they can claim that really they won (when they lost). And anyway, they say, there is a storm coming, just like they said there was a storm coming when they swore blind in September that they were going to win the independence referendum (which they lost). Now, just you wait and see, they mutter, the SNP will sweep to victory at the next Westminster elections in Scotland, hold Cameron or Miliband's feet to the fire and deliver everything for Scotland bar a seat at the United Nations.
