ELECTION eve is usually a time for last-minute campaigning, mental preparation and texting your other half to remind them to buy hard liquor on their way home from work.

Over in Holyrood, MSPs had their final chance to question the First Minister ahead of voters going to the polls.

Jackson Carlaw kicked things off by reminding Nicola Sturgeon of the time that she revealed a private conversation she had with then Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale. During this chat, Dugdale apparently confided in the First Minister that she wanted her party to drop its opposition to indyref2.

“So, on the eve of this election, would she like to share any private conversations she has had with Jeremy Corbyn?’’ asked Carlaw.

“None,” replied Nicola Sturgeon.

“Was that ‘none’ or ‘no’?” he asked.

Poor Carlaw. He has No on the brain.

He muddled on, asserting that it wasn’t “credible” for the First Minister not to have any riveting private conversations with Corbyn she wanted to share with the chamber.

‘’You actually said in this chamber a few weeks ago that you had had conversations with Jeremy Corbyn!”

I’m not sure what Carlaw was hoping to achieve from this line of questioning. Corbyn is the guy you go to for advice when your poinsettia is dying. He’s not who you turn to if you want earth-shattering insights or cross-party gossip.

Carlaw then claimed that – for the price of indyref2 – Sturgeon would be “happy to hand Mr Corbyn the nation’s credit card!”

I’ll lay my (credit) cards on the table here: I’m no fan of Jeremy Corbyn.

But I’m willing to bet if I gave him my card and told him to go on a Pretty Woman-style spending spree, he’d probably splash out on nothing more extravagant than some Tesco value tins of beans, a new beanie and – if he was feeling really frivolous – something from the middle aisle at Aldi.

In contrast, what do we think Boris Johnson would get up to?

I’d inevitably get a call from my bank querying suspicious payments to folk with Russian-sounding names.

From one ludicrous question to the next, Carlaw asked the First Minister if she was prepared to “sue her way to indyref2”.

Sturgeon – who looked like she’d been enjoying Carlaw’s wee monologue – replied: “There’s a serious solution to all these worries that Jackson Carlaw clearly has. The Tories could just respect the will of the Scottish people!”

She urged everybody in Scotland to vote SNP today to avoid the nightmare scenario of waking up tomorrow morning to a Boris Johnson government.

“The First Minister has never respected the settled will of the Scottish people!” retorted Carlaw.

“The difference between me and Jackson Carlaw is this. He thinks it’s OK for Boris Johnson to dictate Scotland’s future. I think it’s for the people of Scotland to choose our future. And the fact that the Tories don’t want the people to have that choice shows that they are running scared of the verdict of the Scottish people.”

Quite.

Happy polling day everybody. Nap wisely. Drink responsibly. Vote!
