Perhaps one of the things it also says something about the disproportionate power of the Scottish vote because in England Brown took much more of a hammering. |
The above is a fair enough point to make but in the council elections in london Labour were ahead of the national trend with seats being gained.
The scottish vote is different and tricky they have a devolved parliament but we live in a united kingdom something i have my doubts about scottish mps voting on issues in westminster is i think bad for democracy but i understand why it was done as there was a head of steam for full independance to see off.
Perhaps the tories need to appeal more to people in scotland just like blair did for many "middle england " voters in the south east of england
