I'm fairly certain that that has happened, it's been the Tories main argument for the last week or so, but my feelings about that are that Labour needed to spin that into a positive rather than taking the hard line of it being devastating for the UK if the SNP had a say in the UK's policies. Blindly going about saying Labour are going for a majority and will flat out refuse to do a deal with anyone was suicidal.
