I that a good thing or bad? Can those versed in Scotland's politics say?

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably bad.

It makes the desolation of the UK less likely, which as a non-scott I like, because it's good having the Scottish people about.

But, honestly, Scottish independence didn't look that likely anyway, and it was good having two large centre left parties about (SNP and Labour) because it kept things honest.

What it probably means is a large swing to Labour in the next election, because most Scotts would rather shoot themselves in the head than vote Tory.

most sane people would. But Labour can be fucking stupid at times.
