itemprop=description content=UNIONIST voters across Scotland will switch from Labour to the Tories just as Tory voters switched to Labour in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West…
just as Tory voters switched to Labour in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election, the Scots Conservative chair has insisted after a humiliating defeat.Asked about the poor result for the Conservatives, Scottish Tory chairman Craig Hoy insisted it would not reflect a wider collapse for the party.
“I think, as my colleague Meghan Gallacher alluded to, in the by-election just a year before the Scottish parliamentary election where“It was one candidate, Annie Wells, and Annie Wells went on to be elected as a Glasgow MSP the next year, so you cannot read too much into a by-election.” He said: “Circumstances of this by-election were always very difficult for us. Collapse in the Tory vote, which went straight to Labour, also a significant factor.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
