Hmm... I don't really think that is has damaged the Lib Dems that much. Even less in Scotland.

it'll all be forgotten by the next round of elections.........politics changes at a rapid pace.

I think David Cameron will do more damage to the Lib Dems at the next election than these allegations ever could.

I think the Lib Dems have fallen in the polls quite drastically after the last few weeks. They will recover most of the ground though, but maybe not all. I would think the effect will be less pronounced in the Holyrood elections.

I expect it will have an effect on the Dunfermline by-election coming up. And they seem to acknowlege this themselves.
