Crùbag Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Don't care - they're all out of touch, half of them toffs. In Scotland, Labour only have non-entities and the evil toxic Murphy. Labour are fckd down there and fckd up here. Kaputt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boabinoban Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I don't see any of these contenders changing anything. Might at well make Tristram Hunt the leader, just for the laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyAffro Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 How do we get another referendum with the Tories in charge? With difficulty, a majority at HR has already set a legal precedent, that's our best shot. Or we could hold our noses and help Labour for one term in return for one.

Thumper Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Labour are categorically fucked. They'll pick a Blairite, try to fight for the same thousand or so dipshit Middle Englanders that Labour have convinced themselves would have won the election for them, and get completely found out.

Fide Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 They'll pick Umunna, as they think that a rightwards lurch will bring back their lost voters. They're becoming political whores. Like the Lib Dems, only not quite as irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Whilst laughing and pointing is fun I don't think Labour are quite as fucked as people are making out. A few percentage points of a swing could see them back in contention, though the next Boundary Commission recommendations may impact upon that. Their problem is the message as much as the messenger, even in England they are trying to appeal to two distinct sets of voters. Electorally they're as well just writing Scotland off.

Yup, they're as relevant in Scotland as the Tories now. Maybe even less so. And this will be reflected in MSP numbers in 357 days time. vvvvvvvvvvv pleasing.
