monkfish Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 My dad is an old Labour type, who thinks they're pretty indistinguishable from the SNP as a progressive party. I was trying to find a record of all the progressive policies they've voted against in the Scottish Parliament, but I can't find it easily. Anyone more clued up know where I could find a list..?

Casual Bystander Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 If it's the Scottish Parliament then you can search MSPs voting records here: http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/parliamentarybusiness/28925.aspx For Westminster you could try this: http://www.theyworkforyou.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect if you looking at voting records that more often than not they will be on the same side. What tends to make the headlines is arguments over the minutae not the principle behind legislation.

tamthebam Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I just read this the other day and it raised eyebrows; "both the Scottish Council of the Labour Party and the Scottish Trades Union Congress passed resolutions in favour of home rule and for Scotland to be represented at Versailles* as an independent country..." p305 "The Flowers of the Forest-Scotland and the First World War" Trevor Royle. (*the 1919 International Peace Conference) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
