Political commentators and journalists seemed to be surprised at the SNP leader's recent announcement. 'Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is to insist she is not intent on class war, despite backing land reform and higher taxes on the rich. Addressing company executives, she is expected to say she wants Scotland to be "an attractive, rewarding and value-creating place" to do business. Ms Sturgeon will ask her audience in Glasgow for ideas to help "grow the economy faster and more sustainably.' (BBC News, 1 December) This devotion to the buying and selling system of capitalism is not peculiar to the SNP. It is shared by all the reformist parties. RD
