Strange results

If it is Dr Scott Arthur’s intention that his regular epistles regaling us about his cherished Labour Party should have an influence, I can assure him that they do 
(Letters, 5 May).

Unfortunately, the final paragraph of his letter, about the 
Conservatives at Westminster winning on the back of SNP votes, begs the real question, which is: if only by voting Labour in Scotland can we avoid David Cameron, what explains the 2010 election result, when voting Labour here still resulted in a Conservative-led Westminster government?
