David Cameron, defender of the Union. That the leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party should choose to emphasise his support for the Union in an interview with The Herald, published today, is revelatory in the context of the shifting political landscape of Britain. There is a school of thought that, should he lead a Conservative government at Westminster, it would be in his interests to exploit tensions with the SNP administration at Holyrood in such a way that the endgame was the advent of an independent Scotland. Labour would be denied the rump of MPs it depends on at present and the Tories would effectively enjoy a natural majority of support in England.
