Quote: DaveO "Absolute nonsense. He wasn't remotely "hostile to business". He wanted to reduce business rates for SME's by forging a planned cut in corporation tax. So corporation-tax wise no business would be worse off and SME's would have been better off. If you are referring to things like restrictions being placed on zero hours contracts, then any ordinary voter who voted against Labour for that was a turkey voting for Christmas. And to say he lurched to the left is a joke. He did no such thing.'"

Sorry wrong terminology. The Tories increased their number of votes by 5% (21,242) from 2010 to 2015. Likewise the UKIP increased the number of voters by 29,855 (173%) So my point remains the same. There is no evidence of a swing from right to left in Scotland.
The SNP picked up votes from all the other left wing parties plus most who did not vote last time (or perhaps those who only voted for the first time in the referendum and voted for the Yes campaign)
