Cynical Cameron propels the SNP juggernaut

First past the post is a rotten electoral system; on the 7^th of May voters in Scotland have an opportunity to unleash it as a broadside against a rotten establishment. The cosy club of the ruling elite at Westminster could face an insurrection unprecedented in modern times. For this reason alone - even if like me, you are not a nationalist - a vote for the SNP constitutes real power to effect change.

David Cameron’s farcical and pathetic nodding dog obedience to Lynton Crosby (Australian election guru) is just the latest episode in an unedifying torrent of arrogant contempt for the electorate. To listen to his sanctimonious admonition of Gordon Brown five years ago for stalling on TV debates only to perform a brazen volte-face has plunged political class cynicism to new depths.

If you don’t want a Labour branch office MP towing the party line to maintain the establishment dogma then there is a real chance to rock the boat. A powerful voice through a nexus of anti-establishment MPs at Westminster would provide the erstwhile unthinkable prospect of a serious debate on nuclear weapons to name one example. To vote SNP in May would not trigger another referendum but it would herald a seismic shift in the corridors of power that seems so detached from most of us.
