Yeah that might be Miliband's thoughts. It's a huge gamble though because Labour will become even more hated. There's the perception up here that Labour betrayed Scotland because they cosied up to the Tories in the referendum and letting the Tories in for another 5 years would reinforce that perception. It would have been different if Labour had distanced themselves from the Tories, came up with their own proposals for staying in the union and also promised to implement those proposals if they were voted in next time.
