To lose one First Minister may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose two would look like carelessness

The McConnell row is hotting up:
LABOUR today admitted union cash donated to First Minister Jack McConnell’s constituency party had illegally not been declared.
The Tories in the Scottish Parliament brought about the demise of our previous First Minister (something which seems rather unlikely at the Westminster level!) but it couldn't be about to happen again. Or could it?
