Won an additional 13 seats to tighten its grip on Scotland so what's been the public reaction to the election results I voted is in p. And I'm absolutely devastated I've been awake since 4 o'clock this morning. And just I just feel so bad about ports a future for a country both parties are well disposed to the hearts content and the 4 vote Labor but that's been their benefit me more as a church to really ask a man. Just have to. But back to school and he didn't seem to like the speech too much Limbaugh over the past 3 years so no. I feel it's a horrible stolen cars pretty much completely one way and yet we're not just 80. 8 city difficult time I was out all day today. President Bush. I know is a really difficult mix of feelings because you feel you want to almost mourn my model all he's all believe are people concerned. Yes well I didn't vote because I decided in this. Case nicely supersedes everything. To myself but. I think. You. Need me to Cali our way to. Beat my wife. Well I'm joined by the pulling gurus or John Curtis who's professor of politics Strathclyde University thanks very much for speaking to us and we have a very different political. Yes we do that it's a political that's been in the making for certainly a while as a political not the certainly could could consider degree this being reshaped by bricks one of the crucial card touristic so of how people vote in the referendum in 2060 it is that people with less in the way of labor market qualifications people who are therefore more likely to be in working class occupations were much more likely to vote leave. The McGregor It's on this to some degree cuts across the classic. Closs division in British politics whereby the Conservative Party is associated with a middle class labor the working class because of course the Conservative Party during the course of the last 2 elections be has been transformed into virtually I wholly pro leave parties our support for the conservatives are amongst those people who voted leave has gone from 45 percent in 2015 to around 70 percent this election and support among 3 main vices has gone down but therefore has meant that indeed the Conservative Party has been gradually gathering unto itself I much less middle class electorate and therefore this and this is basically been demonstrated year graphically and the party's ability to pick up the seats in the north of England in the Midlands we think of as traditional Labor working class seats because Brett sit has a truck to them to the Conservative Party in the Conservative Party been able to attract them because the bricks are on the opposite prices been going on the labor side of the fence so is this a game changer for labor or is this just a break that blip. Well I think in the end the party had 2 problems one undoubtedly is Brecht's it in the divisions that cause the inside is inside its own car addition between his more working class socially conservative base and his mo middle class more socially liberal but to that mix of course was I did the Jameco been who did succeed in persuading voters 2 years ago that maybe he would be quite such a body to rough to all couldn't put off the same trick twice perhaps not on surprisingly so labor was suffering from a brac supposedly that didn't really were trucked to either remain or Levite as of all the difficult position to be an over breakfast and then a leader who didn't have confidence the the luck of leader with confidence is something that I party could hope to deal with by coming up with a leader who's more palatable to voters dating with the bricks divide indeed the future of the BRICs a divide is now one of the $64000.00 questions of our politics as to how much longer this will play out and whether it's causing some kind of permanent reshaping of politics and into well the wells at least oh not on me was that in part it would depend on what happens to the bricks that Boris Johnson is not proposing to deliver and what about in Scotland was it breaks it independence that determine how people felt while these are 2 things that become much more linked to each other if you are remade or you are now more likely to be more likely to be in favor of independence the not rise if you are a leave you tend to be quite keen on staying inside the u.k. And links become much stronger in the wake of the e.u. Referendum so the answer to is that by things were going on in part people voting for the s.n.p. To stop Breck's but in stopping Brecht's it many of these people would also be people who wanted to also think that Scotland should become an independent country both these things are going on now becoming increasingly difficult to disentangle because by sickly Bracks it has Coles a loss of support for the union. Amongst those who voted remained back in 2016 and so how much support is there no for another independence referendum Well the answer to that question is that basically the level of support for having another referendum at some point in the future though not necessarily within the relatively speedy time frame the 1st Minister has in mind that questions on my side on this is whether or not you in 5 independents or not in other words if you have favor of independence you're trying to eventually to be in favor of having a prized referendum if not necessarily with undue haste and so the crucial question is whether Scotland stand on its support for independence Well we did have a poll during the course of action company that so well actually support for independence is down to 43 percent now looks as though that might be the exception rather than the rule most polling during the course of this year including party during the election campaign has had support for departed sort of around 4849 percent it does now seem to be higher than it was in 2014 and it's gone up exclusively amongst those people who voted remain and it is now very difficult to avoid the conclusion that the BRICs it impossible call something of a diminution of support for the union and that's why now I think the next crucial stage in the debate about this goes to future will depend on how do people in Scotland re act to the BRICs that that is delivered at the end of January by the u.k. Government does it. Further increases support for independents in which case we might begin to start to get opinion polls that regularly put us now really ahead or do we not I think if there is a full then shall we say as a result of the debate between the Scottish Government and the u.k. Government about if and when and whether there should be another independence referendum will only get more intense in the wake of such an involvement and it will certainly put pressure on the u.k. Government perhaps to move on from simply saying no to working out what's going to be the state craft that might actually ensure that the decline in support for the union in Scott. And in the wake of Brooks it is actually reversed John Curtis thanks now as we've been reporting it was a disastrous election for Labor there's just one m.p. Left in Scotland and that's Ian merry who fought a successful campaign in Edinburgh He's been speaking to a reporter hope Webb Well I was obviously delighted to hold my seat but being the only Scottish Labor m.p. Again is a disaster not just for the party but for the country and we've all woke up this morning to realise that there's a large majority for the Conservatives a number 10 and I think that's a real letdown for everybody in this country that really desperately needs a Labor government we've just given the watch to shaft of government and the wish to serve the prime minister in history the biggest majority they've had in a very very long time and that's incredibly disappointing heartbreaking for the country we're did it all go wrong for labor you have obviously not held back speaking out against Jeremy carbon himself is that for you the main reason well of not help but because I wanted to be honest with people and my team and I were not from $11000.00 and so over the course of the last 5 weeks and pretty much everyone we spoke to her concerns about Jeremy Corbyn I've been saying that to him directly and his team you know for over 2 years as a 27 general election I said quickly there was a pathway to Labor Government to don't wish to take care but if you continued on the path in the trajectory he was on then it would only be left to the public to decide what the public of no decided the answer has not been particularly positive and I think the labor movement as well as a Labor leadership have to very seriously consider what's happened and take the appropriate steps to ensure that there's not only a credible opposition but credible alternative government which is why we're all in politics to deliver on the things that we wish to see for the people we represent Jeremy Corbin himself says this is mainly done to brag that there was no getting past the problem of break sets and that is why labor suffered You obviously don't agree with that soley being the reason well if you look at the losses all over the country they're not just leave seats with those people and remain seats we've lost remain M.P.'s will. Leave M.P.'s The biggest factor in the selection by a considerable margin was the leadership of the Labor Party no that feeds into bricks at these are 2 separate things but into Lent on the basis that the public didn't see that Labor party had a position a strong position on Europe yes ultimately dead but I think Nobody believed us and the die had been cast on the leadership of Labor party fed into the issue of bricks and the people who took a strong position on blacks like myself I run the people's will campaign and Scotland were rewarded at the ballot box if it was what the constituents that you seek to represent were looking for so this is about leadership is about taking a stance where doing what's in the national interest and the public just didn't see Jimmy Carter as being the person who they could see as working to number 10 with their team to run the country having shared your concerns for the last few years do you know you want to turn around and say I told she said no I don't want to do that I want to turn around and say please please please use the snow opportunity to lessen because you may be in Last Chance Saloon the labor m.p. In Mary talking to our reporter hope Webb Well this evening there's a rally underway in Glasgow city center our reporter Conor Kelly says and the Cannon Street for a snow cone or what's happening there just saying Yeah well this demonstration was organized at the last minute Laura when it became clear that Boris Johnson and the conservatives clearly today had secured that meets your comments majority of course the largest since 1987 you can probably hear the background it's a fairly lightly protest at the moment a few 100 people here there are full. Black cars there holding them up you can hear the speakers
