Labour lost this seat to SNP with big swing of over 20%. If the swing that took place last night were to be repeated in rest of UK in General Election then Labour would be slaughtered and Gordon Brown would even lose his suit. One thing to have a swing to SNP I suppose and another to have a swing to the Tory’s.
Scotland is huge for Labour though and the disillusionment with them there is massive. Glasgow East is the lifeblood of Labour.
Tories won’t benefit in Scotland but they’ll benefit elsewhere.
