“The Labour leader had previously rejected the possibility of a coalition with the Nationalists but went further yesterday, repeating three times during a TV interview that he would not enter a looser ‘confidence and supply’ pact with Nicola Sturgeon’s MPs. His comments came as senior Conservatives and Liberal Democrats raised questions about the ‘legitimacy’ of a minority Labour government supported by the SNP” – Talk of possible coalitions again exercised our online posters:

Now any SNP members of parliament are questionable on legitimacy? Perhaps Ms May would explain if this is related to their birth as per Major or is it that MPs elected in Scotland and the electors in that country are illegitimate in terms of the constitution? – Frank McIntosh, Scotland

If Scotland cannot fully participate in the democratic processes of the UK...why not independence. Isn’t it the natural and perhaps the only option? – Frank Galvin, Edinburgh

It’s worth noting too that no such comments were made when Labour had fifty MPs in Scotland and the Tories had none – Eddie Cavin

Nicola Sturgeons daily offer to put Miliband in Downing Street is helping Cameron in his quest more than any other factor – Charlie Robertson, Glasgow

Should she withdraw all the SNP candidates? It’s not her fault the Labour vote in Scotland has crossed over wholesale to the SNP – Robert Sim, Lerwick

The SNP have been against formal pacts from the beginning and it is disingenuous of Labour to suggest otherwise – Robert Allan, Oban
