Wendy's 7%.

So, according to the Sunday Times only 7% of Scottish voters want the likely Leader of the Scottish Labour Party, Wendy Alexander MSP, to be Scotland's First Minister.

Their opinion poll suggests that Wendy's 7% rating compares with SNP Leader Alex Salmond's 38% approval rating, former Labour Leader Jack McConnell's approval rating of 10%, Conservative Leader Annabel Goldie's rating of 7% and Lib Dem Leader Nicol Stephen's 5%.

Now some political traditionalists might think that such a poor rating was good enough reason not to have Ms Alexander get the "top job," but the reality is that it is probably too late for those sorts of thoughts to enter the minds of the 40 odd of Labour's 46 Members of the Scottish Parliament who are apparently supporting Wendy's election. The die is cast ... but perhaps it's still not too late Labour people?
