Dear All
Jim Murphy has lost the plot or has he?
Labour is to adopt a controversial strategy of ignoring the SNP completely during the General Election campaign in Scotland.
He is doing this to concentrate on the Tories; one small point obviously worth mentioning is that the main challenger in his seat is the Tory Candidate.
For Labour MPs in the rest of Scotland they face a serious real threat of losing their seats to SNP Candidates.
If this strategy is implemented , then the SNP chances in some seats will increase considerably.
The Labour Party in Scotland has used the repeated tactic of campaigning on Holyrood issues in Westminister by-elections.
Effectively to the SNP determent it has to be said.
The fact of Scottish politics is that the SNP are the major force in Scotland, at the General Election, the Tories will be lucky, very lucky to get a handful of seats.
The may get wiped out in Scotland altogether, holding just a single seat at present.
It is widely expected that the Tories will form the next UK Government; Labour is set for a landslide of losses.
So, who can stand up for Scotland’s interests other than the Scottish National Party who are the government of Scotland?
Who will the Tories take seriously if not the SNP Government of Scotland?
Labour MP William Bain?
He said he would oppose cuts throughout his by-election campaign, first thing he did when he got to Westminister was vote with the Labour Government for cuts.
In Glasgow, the SNP if they fight hard have a realistic chance of winning three seats, those are Glasgow East, Glasgow South and Glasgow North.
John Mason, Malcolm Fleming and Patrick Grady represent the best possible chance out of the seven available seats to be fought in the city.
But in order to win these seats, the SNP have to be radical and strip out their activists from the remaining seats to fight in these areas.
People, money and resources are the assets of the political economy and the SNP have to manage the political budget.

It is impossible to win every seat in Glasgow.
So why not divert resources to those seats that are viable.
Surely Alex Salmond and the SNP would rather have three gains instead of seven losses in the City of Glasgow?
They have to address and manage the political budget in the same way they have done with the financial budget.
