Editorial comments: Available on CD-ROM only. 1930. Financial Times (7 January 1978) adds: "She told party workers on Thursday evening that she wanted the next election to be a splendid victory, not merely a stalemate. To achieve this, she admits, the Scottish party will have to recapture many of the 20 seats lost to Labour and the SNP over the last two decades".
