Wake up, Labour

A “Federal Solution” to the current iniquities of the United Kingdom’ s current constitutional arrangements, as espoused by Gordon Brown, Henry Mcleish and others, is never going to happen and the sooner Mr Brown and other thoughtful socialist politician who have not joined the SNP realise this, the sooner they can truly commit to helping to build a fairer and more egalitarian country, independent of London rule.

The final irony for Scottish Labour would be for the Conservative Party in Scotland to split (possibly foreshadowed in the sudden resignation from the party by Michelle Ball an tyne) and form an Independent Scottish Conservative Party supporting home rule before the Labour Party in Scotland got its act together and rose above “SNP-BAD” (rejecting the anti- independence agenda of Richard Leonard and political dinosaurs such as James Kelly, Jackie Bail lie and Iain Gray) to form an Independent Scottish Labour Party genuinely reflecting the enlightened ambitions of Keir Hardie.

The tide is not turning, it has already turned, and if the Labour Party in Scotland does not wake up to the new political reality that the majority of the population in Scotland now reject London rule, as epitomised by Boris Johnson and his woefully incompetent Cabinet of Brexit disciples, then another party will emerge to grasp the socialist mantle of representing those with left-of-cent reviews beyond those represented by the perhaps more centrist SNP of an independent Scotland.
