LABOUR could win over many SNP voters if it backed a mandatory living wage, tuition fees abolition and railway renationalisation, according to a new poll.
Promises to decommission Trident and introduce free nursery places for children from 12 months would also see SNP voters return to Labour in their droves, the study carried out by Survation for Progressive Polling found on Tuesday.
The poll of more than 1,000 previously declared SNP voters showed 37 per cent would be more likely vote Labour if it had a policy of a mandatory living wage.
As the campaign for leader and deputy leader of Scottish Labour heats up, Katy Clark, responding to the poll, blasted “failed” new Labour for taking “Scottish Labour to the edge of the abyss” and called for an end to “business as usual.”
The poll comes as Nicola Sturgeon was voted in by the Scottish Parliament yesterday to succeed Alex Salmond as First Minister.
Ms Sturgeon vowed to lead a “bold, imaginative and adventurous” government.”
