Subject: RE: BS: Glasgow earthquake!
The Glaswegians voted for the most left-wing candidate who stood a chance of winning, naturally enough. Not much comfort for the Tories in this result.

The obvious card for Labour to play in this situation is to bring in electoral reform with a single transferable vote. That's the only way to bring out the voters who can't see much significant difference between New Labour and New Tory, and could give a good chance of a hung parliament with a centre left majority.
