Re: Tuesday 16th September 2014

Just an observation... But, if Ed wins in 2015 and the yes vote wins won't it be his job to sort it all out? Surely he needs/has to be there on the ground meeting people getting opinions now?

And it's hardly his fault there is a dearth of Tories to help out. Or Tories willing to mix with the people.
