Guardian: Reports on the Conservatives attack on the match up of the Labour and the SNP, " They have managed to combine their warnings of economic chaos after 8 May – the threat of excessive borrowing, leftwing influence and instability – with the threat posed by Scottish nationalism. "
Lets Get Real:
As a ploy the placing the political target on Labour and SNP has worked, a good attack, never mind the merits, works if there is a sense of truth to the charge, thus the double talk out of Ed Miliband every time the issue of SNP and Scotland comes up, the Labour leadership understands that it only gets back in to power with the support of the SNP. This would be an ironic development as Labour's Shadow Foreign Secretary and the leader of the Scottish Labour Party could lose their seats to the SNP. How could Ed Miliband appoint Douglas Alexander to the FCO if he has lost his seat, of course if PM, Miliband could place Alexander in the House of Lords, thus he would get his Shadow Foreign Secretary back but it would not look good to the Scottish voters. The last couple days has ALL been about the vote by vote deal between Labour and the SNP, the Labour Party should take the risk and state it will not govern as a Minority Government under the SNP supoppport. Also if Labour is the second Party it would mean that it won less English and Welsh seats than the Conservative Party, it would be seen as a losers Government. This again would not be good, as Sir John Major said this morning, the Labour Party would be at the beck and call of the SNP. This would be a political disaster for the UK and the Labour Party in the long term, English voters would not be happy that they are being ruled from Scotland.
