The U.K. needs a strong opposition, and Labour shows no signs of being capable of being that. The SNP is filling that void and will go on seeking to do that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The SNP became a minority government in 2007, then a majority one in 2011. But Labour viewed what was happening as some kind of aberration. They felt the problem wasn't theirs: they didn't have to change; the Scottish people had just gone down this wrong road, and if they waited long enough, they would find their way back.
I hope nobody in England is afraid of the SNP - there is absolutely no need to be.
British politics is more nuanced. Part of the problem with New Labour is that they are a moving target.
Labour's support in Scotland depends on their ability to be electable. If they are divided and unelectable, what's the point?
The fact is Scottish Labour has lost its way.
So our problem is not Labour, it is us, is making us attractive enough to gain disillusioned Labour support and to compete effectively with the Lib Dems for those loose votes.
There are great things that Britain can do in the future as a progressive beacon. By voting Leave, we have that opportunity.
We know, in Wales or in England - you simply can't trust Labour on the NHS. In England, we are delivering for patients while Labour just use the NHS as a political football. We won't let them; we'll always fight for the NHS.
The problem is that the U.K. in essence is a feudal society. It's everyone in their place.
What I've said in the past is that I want the Labour Party to approach this matter on the basis of unity.
