The Last Dance?

I watched First Minister's Questions (FMQs) earlier today - broadcast live from the Scottish Parliament.

Now this was the last FMQs of this parliament.

In fact it may be the last FMQs of its kind ever - depending on who 'wins' the May elections - and who becomes the next First Minister of Scotland.

So how did the main protagonists - Alex Salmond and Iain Gray - fare in this ritual political dance?

Well for my money Alex Salmond performed with great panache and style - Al Pacino dancing the tango in 'Scent of a Woman' springs to mind.

While Iain Gray was terribly pedestrian and wooden - twinkle toes he's not - more like John Sergeant or Ann Widdecombe on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

Now whether this makes any difference with the voters in six weeks time - remains to be seen.

But I will be watching the campaign with great interest - to see which of the two main party leaders - really does turn out to have two left feet.
