In Lanarkshire Labour previously held virtually every seat. A combination of base corruption (exposed in the expenses scandal) and taking the voters for granted did for them. The SNP (very organised with a large number of enthusiastic volunteers ) with a new leader who shifted the party to the left scooped up all of those seats
How have they lost touch with core voters? Genuine question. Kate Hoey said the same on telly earlier.
