 Polling in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election seem to show that Labour are not persuading SNP voters but instead are picking up the Tory vote. Says much about Labour and the Tories and rubbishes ideas from Labour activists who get all upset when people ask what are the differences between the Tories and Labour. It seems, in Scotland at least, the public share this idea that the parties are interchangeable. 
 @adc8087c the main difference is that the conservatives come up with lots of policies to transfer wealth from the poor to the rich whereas labour just copy those polices.
