WEDNESDAY evening saw the final leaders’ debate of the General Election campaign. And what a pathetic, uninspiring spectacle it was.
Polling has found some Yes supporters will vote Labour, but doing so would be a mistake, Joanna Cherry argues
Of course, he was talking about England. Of course, Scotland was not mentioned once throughout the whole debate. But, the audience member had a point. Neither of these men have it in them to tackle the challenges left by years of austerity,Tories Voters in Scotland need to decide whether they want an SNP MP who will speak up for Scotland or just another backbench Labour MP who will do what he or she is telt by Keir Starmer and toe the party line.
Then look at Labour’s offering for Scotland or rather the lack of it. At the start of the campaign their campaign manager, Pat McFadden, was interviewed on Radio Scotland and he could not name a single Scotland-specific policy. I assumed that might change during the campaign. I was wrong.On key issues at home and abroad such as the two-child benefit cap and the situation in Gaza, the Labour Party is at odds with public opinion in Scotland and does not represent what you think.
However, if the SNP win the election in Scotland, the issue remains alive, and at some stage Westminster will have to engage with the question of what kind of union this is and whether and how a member nation may choose to leave.
Labour are going to win in England because they have neutralised any threat they posed to the British establishment and moved to the right to emulate Tory policies.Or do you want to ensure Scotland’s voice is heard and keep the independence dream alive?We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
