The thing is, leaving is no guarantee of a left-wing government.
Regardless of your political views, I think you can categorically say that leaving will never result in a left-wing govt.
Even with constituency boundary bias the left has not been able to take power since the 70s.
To think that even if Scotland remains in the Union there will somehow be a swing is lunacy. The closest argument you can make is that the Conservatives will implode so violently on BREXIT that only a handful will be electable and the centre will dive across to prevent political contamination....
.... but I still don't see it.

The thing is, leaving is no guarantee of a left-wing government. I respect the left-wing arguments for leaving, particularly those of Jenny Jones. However, the changes that left hope will come with leaving won't happen. This is because they aren't the goals of the right-wing and centrist leavers who are going to be the dominant ones in any powershift that come about following Brexit. You will literally get the opposite of what you want.
