Thursday the 5th May 2011 was a momentous day for Scotland and the Scottish National Party and an inspirational day for the rest of us.

Since the 1930’s the SNP had struggled to be taken seriously as the National Party of Scotland. For decades now the journalists bated them, asking, “How many seats are you going to win at this election”.

Although the SNP had moments of sheer brilliance that masqueraded as a breakthrough, rarely could they hold onto these seats come the following election.

Well on Thursday the 5th May 2011, all that changed. The SNP swept into power, taking 69 of the 120 seats which were being contested, in the Scottish Parliament.

This is a stunning victory and pay off, for all of their Activists. Truly, Scotland will never be the same again.

This was a victory for all who are willing to fight for their dreams.  All who not only believe that life can be better but who are willing to go out and make it better.

Yes, dreams came true on the 5th May and long cherished ambitions, may now be realised.

Well done Alex Salmond and team SNP!

As ever, I would love to hear your thoughts.
