I recently posted this Twitter spat between the Labour MP for Rhondda and his Plaid AM counter part
I wrote at the time that "In an ideal world Leanne would be right, but constitutional questions may be a big thing in Scotland and the Lib Dems will be hoping for a Brexit backlash and Remainers. turning to them".
Its certainly true in Scotland
The Unionist Parties there seem intent on turning it into " A Referendum about referendum".
Wing over Scotland has provided us with examples of the literature for May 4th and its all rather peculiar
Take This one from the Tories.
Not to be outdone Labour seem to be using similar tactits
There are numerous examples on Wing's site as the Tories and Labour fight for the Unionist crown. One the Tories are winning.
The stupidity of Labour in Scotland after the Toxic identification of them with the Tories in the Better together campaign in the last referendum.
Accusation that Labour and the Tories have done a deal in some wards so that they don't cancel each other out and maximum their seats under the STV electoral system.
The Media of course are behind Tory Scottish Branch manager Ruth Davidson using UK polls to claim she is more popular than Nicola Sturgeon,
Whilst the reverse is true when t Scottish voters and not people in Kent who asked
Labour could of course make a play for a third option in Indy2 that called for for a powerful Scottish Parliament , but they seem hell bent on preserving the Union as it is .
Any fool can see that the Tories will win the battle for the Union Crown but it may be that in doing so they lose Scotland .
In the meantime if the SNP make gains in May the unionists will be denying that this had nothing to do with a call for a second referendum. despite them trying to make it so.
