For the 2015 UK General Election, we have to replace as many Scottish Labour MPs as possible with SNP MPs. This could have two effects. 1. The old rule (pre 1999 devo), whereby a majority of Scotlands 72 MPs, elected with Independence in their manifesto, would have the democratic right to hold a referendum on independence, could be triggered if we can return at least 30 SNP MPs of the 59 MPs we now elect for Westminster. 2. Because of the way voting intentions are going in England, where it is thought UKIP could hold the balance of power, a strong block of SNP MPs COULD hold the balance of power and become kingmakers. The other upside of Scotland voting this way for the UK election, is that this would give the various, well-organised, campaigning groups within the YES Campaign, the time required to create a credible left-wing political opposition to the SNP for the Scottish 2016 election.
