I think you’re extrapolating meaning from his post that isn’t there.
One can reasonably hold up a seat (in Parliament or council) as one of those places we wonder why the opposition even bother. We all know these “safe” seats exist - there’s no purpose in denying they do. Maybe the media froth about them too much but they undoubtedly exist.
Drifting to a “one party” state is unhealthy regardless of the party. Or is that just Scotland....
