"Scotland turns its back on Labour..."

Scotland turns its back on Labour, and on Brown | Special Reports | Guardian Unlimited Politics: "Labour is now desperate to avoid its first election defeat in Scotland in 50 years. It wants to concentrate on investing in education, its 'full employment agency', new community courts, and the SNP's 'dangerous and disastrous' economic policies. But the voters seem intent on punishing Labour on May 3: the polls which give the SNP a lead also show fewer Scots would support independence, the SNP's core demand, so it is not nationalism driving its popularity."

Not nationalism - and not the economy, stupid. So what? Step forward Tony. It's you and New Labour. Looks like you've blown all that political capital in just 10 years.
