This is the dichotomy, really. North of the border people genuinlely seem to want a government to point left - even if, as we all know, SNP arent exactly Syriza - whereas in Westero...sorry, england, Labour were criticised for being too left leaning.

I've not read an Irvine Welsh book in ages. It surely does speak of some level of antipathy towards what the Labour party offered for this election though. A sort of disconnect between what ed could get away with either side of the wall.

Sorry, I mean your Free State instincts. ;-)

Actually the folk beyond the wall enjoy a position of consitutional power *over* the hated Saxons. Something which will become even more apparent to the latter in the near future.
