I think it is more about keeping SNP out of government.
What has changed your mind if you don't mind answering?
It's all a bit of a mess, which is what happens when the lefties get their own way. Costly window dressing, more bureaucracy can't really help the masses but if your leftie you can simply live in denial and spend, spend, spend.

It really didn't. Even if Labour won every seat in Scotland, the Conservatives would still be heading for a majority.
not wanting to risk the thuggish left i think is the main skewing factor in the polls.
If that's the case we could have a tory government for a very long time as it's going to take a lot for Labour to recover north of the border. Bare in mind they saw a 35% swing to SNP in some constituencies
They'd actually need the SNP to screw up completely in order to win back many seats in 2020, so I doubt many tories will want the SNP to misbehave at westminster.

I would say he has a better chance than Ed did if he managed to sneak in with a minority. He wouldn't have been able to do anything, so would have been pointless winning. The Tories on the other hand have every chance to get stuff done so long as the whips do their job.
Scottish vote rarely counts in elections, despite all the horrendously anti-Scottish rhetoric rolled out by both Labour and the Tories during the campaign. Scots typically don't get the Westminster government they vote for, we're use to it.

So the Pollsters get wrong again, even the exit polls weren't wholly accurate.
Has Ed Miliband Or Nick Clegg announced their resignations yet?

New speaker of the house for a start lol
It changed the 2010 election from a Tory majority to a Coalition, and that's just the last election.
I'm still British, I still have the right to vote in general elections, and I still have a keen interest in the future of our great nation.
Only when it suites you..
Excellent summary in the Telegraph reasoning why Labour lost, in a nutshell, the wrong Leader,elected by the Unions not the grass roots, a man who was unwilling to accept Labours past economic screw ups and instead chose to defend them, a man urged when elected to put a professions team around him, instead he chose ideological soul mates, he had to choose between the centre ground - where Blair succeeded - instead he went for the comfort zone of the left....
Ultimately, a man who made all the wrong choices and thank God he only made those wrong choices for the Labour Party and not for the country as our Prime Minister.

Or Scottish mps are barred from voting on English only legislation in return for more devolved powers.
