One thought on “My tweets

  1. You’re right – the Labour Party haven’t been too clever about this sort of thing in the recent past but they do have a better track record of actually delivering constitutional reform than the Conservatives over the last decades.

    The Labour Party can side step some of the acute pain of doing a deal with the SNP by delivering on their policy of a constitutional convention. They get SNP parliamentary support where needed and delay having to strain the fabric of the Union in the short term and in the long term they can expect regional devolution in a way that helps them.

    I guess the alternative is that the SNP just sit, like Henry Percy on a hill and watch the Labour Party try to govern England with a minority government. They don’t have to support the Labour Party in order to not support the Tories
