John Lambies Doos Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 He is given up. If he loses his seat his political career is over. The labour (Scottish branch) infighting post may 7th will be glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see a split and an independent Scottish Labour Party being set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I could see a split and an independent Scottish Labour Party being set up.They'd have to choose a different name, though. "Labour" as a brand has been registered as toxic for generations by their behaviour over the last couple of decades.This is certainly the case in Scotland, and I'm seeing the start of serious disillusionment down here as well.

Granny Danger Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I could see a split and an independent Scottish Labour Party being set up. Despite being more radical than Labour on a number of issues, I think the SNP still have policy positions that question whether they can genuinely be regarded as a party of the left. The fact that they're seen as being left of Labour is simply testimony to how far Labour have lurched to the right. That said I think the SNP can gradually develop as a genuine party of the left. This gives rise to two questions; firstly, where is there scope for an 'independent Labour Party'? Is it simply a left of centre party that wants to stay attached to the UK with all the attendant electoral potholes that brings. Secondly, and more importantly, where is the political impetus.? There's very few left in SLab who are left of centre; whatever sort of party these folk started would have not more appeal than the current guise.

Elixir Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Never mind the ever decreasing support for the union when more and more of this generation of old fuckers kick the bucket, but also think about what Labour's level of support is going to be like five or ten years from now.

Granny Danger Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I wonder if there is/will be any real introspection amongst thos who lose their seats. I wonder how much individual and collective responsibility they will take for the complete desertion of Scottish Labour by the Scottish electorate. Unto thine own self be true -as Rabbie Burns so eloquently put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaffenThinMint Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 More real people... Labour: the party for doddering old wankers to reflex vote because keeping up with current affairs isnae as "important" as keeping up with Coronation Street & how their half of the Old Firm is doing. And then wonder why they get jakeys for Deputy Provosts who pish all over their bins. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/fury-scots-councils-depute-provost-5579617 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much individual and collective responsibility they will take for the complete desertion of Scottish Labour by the Scottish electorate. Unto thine own self be true -as Rabbie Burns so eloquently put it. I suspect there will be precisely zero introspection. To them, the voters are stupid and the SNP are bad, They, in their own warped minds, have done precisesly nothing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 They will probably need their own version of Bertolt Brecht to keep them in touch with reality in the aftermath, if the polling numbers stay where they are right now: After the uprising of the 17th of JuneThe Secretary of the Writers UnionHad leaflets distributed in the StalinalleeStating that the peopleHad forfeited the confidence of the governmentAnd could win it back onlyBy redoubled efforts. Would it not be easierIn that case for the governmentTo dissolve the peopleAnd elect another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
