From now until the general election in May the Labour Party are going to bombard you with the propaganda message that a vote for the SNP will mean the return of a Tory government in Westminster and that the only way to avoid this is to vote Labour. That is a complete lie and must be exposed for the lie that it is. Why is that a lie? Because the vote in Scotland is normally immaterial to the result of a Westminster election and it is normal for a resounding vote for Labour in Scotland to result in a Tory victory. Thus, a vote for the SNP will do nothing to jeopardise a Labour victory or encourage a Tory win. I give you a sample of results from Conservative electoral victories that expose Labour for the liars that they most assuredly are.
In 1959 Labour gained 38 seats in Scotland whilst the Tories gained 31. However the overall result gave the Tories 365 Westminster seats to Labour's 358. This means that if England and Wales vote Labour that is who will win and if they vote Tory then that is who will win regardless of what Scotland votes.
In 1970 Labour gained 44 seats in Scotland whilst the Tories gained 23. However the overall result gave the Tories 322 Westminster seats to Labour's 287
In 1979 Labour gained 44 seats in Scotland whilst the Tories gained 22. However the overall result gave the Tories 339 Westminster seats to Labour's 268
In 1983 Labour gained 41 seats in Scotland whilst the Tories gained 21. However the overall result gave the Tories 397 Westminster seats to Labour's 209
In 1987 Labour gained 50 seats in Scotland whilst the Tories gained 10. However the overall result gave the Tories 375 Westminster seats to Labour's 229
In 1992 Labour gained 49 seats in Scotland whilst the Tories gained 11. However the overall result gave the Tories 336 Westminster seats to Labour's 271
In 2010 Labour gained 41 seats in Scotland whilst the Tories gained 1. However the overall result gave the Tories 306 Westminster seats to Labour's 258
As a result we can see that the success of Labour from 1997 to 2010 owed little or nothing to the Scottish vote. It matters little what Scotland votes because the result reflects the rest of the UK. For example throughout Labours victory years 1997 to 2010, they won 56 seats in Scotland in 1997 to the Tories zero, in 2001 55 seats to the Tories 1 and in 2005 40 seats to the Tories 1. Thus, even whilst their vote fell in Scotland from 56 seats to 40, it had no effect on the UK result, they still won because they won in England and Wales. Thus it matters not if the SNP win in Scotland in May because even when the Labour Party were winning in Scotland, we still returned 7 Conservative governments from 1959 till 2010. These are empirical facts, they are not propaganda and the facts tell us that a vote for Labour in Scotland is just as likely to result in a Conservative victory as a vote for anyone else. Do not fall for Labour's lies; if you vote Labour in Scotland you will probably get another Conservative government. The only way to safeguard Scotland is to vote SNP. If we continually get that then independence is an inevitability and following independence you can vote Labour to your hearts content. Indeed if you are really a dedicated Labour supporter, then a vote for the SNP is the only sensible vote for your long-term interests. You have been warned
