Democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. F.D.Roosevelt

Unit 1: Latest by-election result in Scotland
Click here to see the results of the Dunfermline by-election. What might this say for the next general election and also, the referendum re Scottish independence?
With the opinion polls it seems like the Labour party seems to have a lead ranging from 0-8 points, this may seem good in some cases but surely its not unusual for a governing party to be behind in the polls mid term before their policies have taken effect. It seems like the Labour lead may start to drop pretty quickly if economic growth picks up. Could UKIP split the right wing vote enough to force a lab-lib or con-lib coalition?
