Why the SNP?
May 2nd, 2015
I read this letter by Andrew Brewer last night in the London Evening Standard (online) and it struck a chord. At last I understand clearly why the Scots will not be voting Labour. They’ve got more sense.

Their politics are more progressive than we have had the benefit of South of the border for 35 years although I suspect just as many down here think left hence the #greensurge. The Scots still understand what left wing means, unlike the Labour party, and they are prepared to vote in favour of a party with left wing policies. If only @uklabour were more courageous they’d have my vote.

I disagree with D’ancona. It’s typical of the LES to employ columnists with those views but he underestimates the feeling in the rest of the country, outside London, and with regard to housing, inside London, for a wind that doesn’t blow from Eton.
