Meanwhile:
John Swinney’s calculation is that a Labour win is already priced in for many in this election.
At his launch event, he predicted that “the Tories are on course for a huge defeat, a wipeout”.
The pitch is that the Tories are toast anyway, and Labour will have a big majority - so Scots don’t actually need to vote for Labour to achieve that. Indeed, he says they should vote for the SNP to keep Labour honest - to hold their feet to the fire.
@ecksmc In all truth, it's not a terrible idea. Like them or not, the SNP, LibDems and even the Green Party have a golden opportunity to hold a Labour government accountable, particularly if they can find points of agreement beyond simply being the opposition.
@stueytheround lol indeed and SNP just broke their alliance with the greens not long ago it didn't go down well
