Labour Ditch One Of Election Flagship PoliciesI can understand Alexander trying to distance herself from McConnell's policies, but surely this is an open goal for the SNP.If they are ever challenged ( in this parliament ) again about not fulfilling an election pledge, then they can simply retort that Labour ditch theirs before they are even in a position to implement them. http://www.sundayherald.com/news/...aise_school_leaving_age_to_18.php |

I think it is a good move by Wendy Alexander in terms of dumping a crazy policy. Schooling to the age of 18 would be impractical in terms of resources and finance.
She has however, as stated, given the SNP a get out clause in terms of questioning them on failing to follow through on pledges |
