Scotland is so ideologically different to the rest of the uk. They missed a trick last year.

England heads further to the right.

Scotland heads towards a more progressive liberal society.

The general consensus would appear already to be so Labour are in the Pommes Frits. No bad thing imo in the longer term as Milliband ought to be replaced with someone with more understanding of the average Joe and bigger balls. But not Ed Balls.
