Whilst I agree that Labour is nationally unpopular at present, I believe that at the next general election Labour will re-gain its majority in the Scottish parliament due to the fact that however unpoplar they are the Scottish electorate would rather a center left party in power than the Tories.
From a Conservative point of view I'd guess they'd be very happy with a SNP majority so that it reduces the Labour vote nationally, but as I'm sure your aware Chris there is still a very strong anti-Tory feeling north of the border and this in my opinion is precisely what'll get Labour their majority back...better the devil you know I suppose.
