Ed Miliband was the only major party leader not to visit Scotland during the final day of the election campaign.
The lack of support for Labour in Scotland means Miliband’s chances of leading a majority government are decreasing and could even see Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy losing his East Renfrewshire seat.
Meanwhile, Nick Clegg travelled from Land’s End all the way to John O’Groats, whilst David Cameron intends to make a short visit later this evening.
Despite his decision not to travel north of the border, Miliband did send a sentimental letter to appeal to the Scottish population.
“On the eve of the tightest general election in a generation my message to the people of Scotland is this: I understand the patriotism and pride you feel in your nation. I know you want change. And I know you want a more socially just and fairer country. That’s what I want too.
David Cameron is clear. If he has just one more MP than Labour he’ll try and stay in power. Any seat the SNP win from Labour in Scotland makes that more likely, and we’ll suffer five more years of cuts, food-banks and falling living standards.
The one vote David Cameron doesn’t want you to cast is a vote for Labour. The only way to get a Labour government on Friday is to vote Labour on Thursday.”
