In reply to Saor Alba:
> Conclusion = there is not much support for right wing parties in Scotland
But surely you all of all people wouldn't deny that there's a fair bit of support for the SNP in Scotland?
As a Nationalist party you'd have a job to persuade people that a Nationalist party can really be on the left, whatever the window-dressing might pretend, especially as a look at the electoral results in Scotland since oil came along and the Nationalists grew comes from transfer of Tory votes to Nationalist. The Tories didn't just go puff! and disappear, they voted SNP against Labour. Much the same as the UKIP, another nationalist party, comes from a swing to a certain sort of right in England.
Anyway, whatever we may surmise, the result of a growth of the UKIP is good news for Labour, by splitting the right wing vote - just as in France the growth of the National Front has helped the Socialist left.
