So if the SNP did so well with a “Keynesian” program of fiscal expansion, is it not arguable that Labour would have done better had it mounted a more vigorous defense of its own record in office and a more aggressive attack on Osborne’s austerity policy? This is what leaders of the Labour party like Alistair Darling, Gordon Brown’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, are now saying.
因此，如果苏格兰民族党依靠“凯恩斯主义”财政扩张计划取得如此出色的成绩，那么，认为工党若更有力地为其自身执政记录辩护、更积极地攻讦奥斯本的财政政策就会收到更好的效果岂非有理？
