LABOUR have “opened up a space” for other parties to pitch to workers because they don’t have any policies, the Scottish Socialist Party’s by-election candidate has said.Speaking to The National, Bonnar said the SSP had had a “good campaign” ahead of the ballot on Thursday, and said activists had been out speaking to voters since June.Asked how the party is making its pitch to workers amid numerous Labour U-turns during the campaign, Bonnar said: “I think a space has opened up to do that.
“What we're finding is although Labour are probably the favorite to win this seat, there's no enthusiasm behind Labour. Bonnar said a number of SNP supporters have asked about how they would move independence forward while out campaigning. He said that if everything is going to stay the same after independence then “why bother”, adding: “The point of independence is to transform Scotland for the better and create a different type of and better Scotland, that resonates with people.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
