Jack McConnell's strategy

According to the BBC news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/3610212.stm Jack McConnell is going to announce that the Tories, and not the SNP, are now Labour's main opponents in Scotland.

This is in line with London Labour's strategy of claiming electoral successes on the basis of Tory failures, while shrugging off the victories of other parties. This probably makes some sense for Labour, but it also shows how desperate they are to maintain the British two party system.
