I though the Scottish Parliament had fixed terms?

Given the current climate, the SNP could probably get everyone except Labour on board with fresh elections.

Why? The only party that would be certain to make gains would be the SNP. How would the smaller parties benefit from a stronger SNP government? (I may be looking at this in the wrong way though).

The Greens?

One would think that,should the budget fail, LDs and Tories have more to lose (in the mid run) from refusing new elections than agreeing to them.

Wouldn't they just get drowned out, even more than in 2007, by fresh elections over an issue like this though?
