There's a small chance that the Lib Dem group can negotiate a compromise with him and make it truly 'local'.
And now that both Campbell and Stephen are out of the running, there's also a chance that it could lead to proper coalition negotiations as well.
Odds tiny, but not non-existent. At a meeting I was at Campbell was asked why no coalition—he palpably loathed Salmond and wouldn't countenance it at all, which is daft given policy similarities.
