Ed Miliband has pledged that LABOUR will introduce a new Home Rule Bill for Scotland within 100 days of being voted into office. He said his party had “delivered the vow” on more devolution, with draft clauses of legislation published last week, ready to be implemented by the new government. Miliband minor has said: “Just as in 1997, devolution will be one of the first things on our agenda for the next Labour Government.” What this really means in practice is that Scotland will get even more subsidy from the rest of the UK only to squander it on an unsustainable so called Socialist utopia.
Now that it looks like the labour Party's bid to weaponise the NHS is failing and people have wised up to the fact that their Mansion Tax will hit the hard working and the aspirational rather than Mephistopheles Mandelson's oligarch pals, they have to woo the Scottish Nationalists at any price. It has also been reported that they are even desperate enough to court the political arm of the IRA, Sinn Fein to join their unholy cabal (See Here). The only good news about the Sinn Fein overtures are that at this stage there doesn't appear to be a fixed monetary price on the sacrifice of scruples but in the murky world of coalition politics no one does anything for nothing .
What is the price we will all have to pay if Labour does get into government on the back of a Scottish Nationalist deal? I have already pointed in previous blogs to the parlous state of the French economy due to their experiment into Socialist anti-austerity economics (See Here) but, actually I could just as well point you to Scotland, which is just as bad as France gets away with its wanton profligacy because of the Barnet Formula and the other trinkets they have pickpocketed from the Westminster purse. Another example perniciously not working in our own back yard is Wales which represents, albeit in miniature, a Labour government without subsidy. If you think the NHS is safe in Labour's hands look at what they have done here. I shudder to even begin to imagine what the rest of the United Kingdom will be like if Red Ed and Balls (by name and nature) have to pay the ransom the SNP will demand for allowing them titular power. Instead of the usual Tax and Spend, Boom and Bust we'll all be subjected to Tax, Borrow and give it away to the Tartan Terrors.
