If Scotland is bigoted enough to dump Labour for more right-leaning politics

Undoubtedly the source of this breathtakingly overpaid Aide's vitriol.

their bigotry will likely do the region a world of good.

If any significant Capitalist reforms have been made, the people of Scotland are probably seeing a world of positive difference indeed....something that causes Labour no end of angst, no doubt.

imagine that a lot of Scotland is to the left of Labour.

They may well be, but it seems to me that this Aide's sentiments suggest that there aren't nearly enough Lefties in Scotland to please Labour, which is a very hopeful sign.

When Socialists become hysterical and start saying utterly unhinged things, it's oftentimes a cause for cautious optimism :-)

Maybe. Wikipedia calls the Scottish National Party a “social democratic” “center-left” party, but I’ll leave you to decide for yourself what that really means. As it is, the SNP is probably going to try and do what Quebec has been trying to do, which really isn’t all that bright either, economically speaking. I doubt their leadership would make the “Republic of Scotland” more of cradle-to-grave paradise than Sweden is.
