How to click on an angularjs link using python selenium?

I have the following html with multiple links that use the same class and elements, and I'd like to click on the link that has ng-switch-when="next" with python selenium.

<a class="ng-scope" ng-switch-when="prev" ng-click="params.page(page.number)" href="">«</a>
<a class="ng-scope" ng-switch-when="first" ng-click="params.page(page.number)" href=""><span class="ng-binding" ng-bind="page.number">1</span></a><
<a class="ng-scope" ng-switch-when="next" ng-click="params.page(page.number)" href="">»</a>

This is what I've tried, but there is no response from the webpage. 

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[@class='ng-scope'][@ng-switch-when='next']").click()

I know you said you tried using CSS classes but this should work with the HTML provided. If it doesn't, please post more of the relevant surrounding HTML so I can adjust the CSS selector.

driver.find_element_by_css_selector("a[ng-switch-when='next']").click()

Try using find elements by tagname or class and then click can be called. XPath approach always not useful.

Since multiple items exist, check generated html and use 'next' while writing script. Don't go by html code. Check generated html and try to find values.
