According to all the polls, the Labour Party will face a wipe-out north of the border in Scotland. It’s interesting to speculative why Scottish people are so strongly anti-Labour? The most obvious answer is despite the results of the referendum, they expect the SNP to press for a more independent Scotland. Perhaps, they feel passionate about Trident? I suggest that the Scottish people have been let down time and time again by a Labour Government in Westminster. They know that Labour struggles to deliver campaign policies, with vast centralized funding lost in bureaucratized projects and bloated administrative inefficiencies. English voters need to reflect carefully that Ed Miliband is very left-wing, compared to the ‘Third Way‘ politics of Tony Blair. Ed Miliband is light on leadership, charisma and experience but he’s quite radical – a toxic brew. There is an alternative, a safe pair of hands. Thoughts?
