The Scotsman comments There are some who take the view that the US presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden does not really matter all that much to people in Scotland. They are dead wrong. In today's leader column we believe: "a Trump victory would not cause any immediate, tangible harm, it would send an alarming message that would fundamentally undermine what we have come to regard as the ‘Free World’ – the countries where democracy is an important institution to be fostered and defended, where politicians are held to account if they lie, and where leaders subscribe to the idea of international co-operation to solve problems that affect us all, like climate change and the Covid pandemic." Do you agree with us? Or maybe you think our analysis is way off? Let us know lettersts@scotsman.com Read the full opinion piece and our outsider view of the US Election here. How would Scots vote in a US Election? The battle between incumbent President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden will come to a close on Tuesday night, with the result of the election expected in the early hours of Wednesday morning (UK time). However, new polling from Hanbury Strategy for Politico shows how Scotland’s constituencies would vote if they were able. Thanks for reading, Sam Shedden, sam.shedden@jpimedia.co.uk |
