...it doesn't rhyme with "clothes" as I thought previously. My only connection with Scotland is an English uncle living in Alloa who I only see once a year, so perhaps that can be excused.

Next Hubdub question:

Labour seem to be doing better for the moment, so here goes. I will do a more comprehensive reading for this tomorrow, but I'd like to do what I did for Jonathan Ross with something more explicitly political.

Labour - DEATH - interesting - it could either signal Gordon Brown's beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning for him - who knows?
SNP - QUEEN OF WANDS - a responsive quest but now that Labour are picking up in the polls again, both leading in Scotland and not trailing so far behind over the UK as a whole, they might still have some ability to pull things back. I was going to go for Labour, but I'm tempted to vote SNP here because of the ability to create their own destiny rather than just yield to fate.
Scottish Liberal Democrats - IX CUPS - Solid, dependable but also rather self-contained and relaxed. Not good for a political party and an election so perhaps not.
Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party - V WANDS - struggling to make headway in Scotland's more diverse political arena than in the increasingly binary world of England. No chance.
Scottish Socialist Party - IV WANDS - Interesting development here, a stable and balanced outlook - but probably nowhere near enough momentum to overtake the leading four parties.
UK Independence Party - KING OF WANDS - A sense of their own purpose but a long shot because the King of Wands generally does his own thing where advice might otherwise be taken.

I am going to go for the SNP as I do want Labour to win it - it will perhaps concentrate the Tories in England more if they do seem to be winning things back again - but have a tingling "other sense" which tells me to go with the SNP from what the tarot is saying. I've only gone for a $50 stake rather than $100 but we shall see whether my gut instinct is right on this one even when tactically I would vote Labour in this instance.
