https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_government_in_Scotland - hard to gauge how often an anti-snp deal is done here. But I don't know many councils where Labour/Con minorities are engaging with the SNP.
Turns out I'm out-of-date with my info!
You're right, there aren't currently any Lab/SNP or any Lab/Con coalitions, and I guess all those Aberdeen former-Labour councillors lost their seats, as well as their membership of the party, which is a good cautionary tale for any Labour politicians considering a pact with the Tories.
Further than that. Labour councilors that support SNP councils to stop Tories getting in power have been kicked out the party.
Labour hate the SNP. Tories are just colleagues they disagree with. They don't think along lines like left/right, progressive, best for governing etc.
