Lib Dems are ready. All of the MRP polls say that we're sitting pretty on 72 seats and could gain handsomely from that, and we don't fear elections. We love them.
And if they did, I would find it deplorable, and I would absolutely condemn it to the rafters.
We have no power to control energy prices, but we do have the power to make it easier to heat Scottish homes, and the SNP just haven't delivered on that massive programme to get homes insulated.
If you can build a budget with the backing of as many MSPs as possible, there's a stronger budget for it, and I know that's John Swinney's hope as well.
