For Brown said
"And I believe that Wendy Alexander is not only the leader of our party here in Scotland but she will be the next first minister of Scotland whenever an election is declared."
As stated in my last post, I think I have about as much chance of getting elected First Minister as Alexander has. Although I can tell Brown exactly when the next election will be declared. It’ll be four years after the previous one!
Will it be four long years of learning for Labour? Perhaps a time to reflect on what went wrong in the previous election and learn the lessons? Maybe a time to stop being obsessed by the SNP and offer their own vision of how they see Scotland’s future?
I say we should stand up for the people of Scotland and for the young children of Scotland and we will be the front line of defence for them against those SNP cuts.– Gordon Brown
I will lead by exposing the dishonesty of the SNP.- Wendy Alexander
SNP is taking Scotland back to the days of Margaret Thatcher through local government cuts– Andy Kerr
Yeah. Right!!
Who is advising the Labour Party? Have they learned anything from their fall from grace last May?
Alexander claimed:
"Here at Aviemore, the fightback has begun. It's time to go to work."
What the hell have they being doing for the last ten and a bit months?
Oh that is right! Firstly they were denying that they lost the election. Then they were saying a long protracted goodbye to their UK leader. Then their Scottish leader decided to give someone else a chance. Step forward Wendy Alexander! Elected unopposed. A fresh start for the Labour Party. But wait a minute, what is this? A dodgy donation?
No wonder they haven’t had time to consider the rest of us!
So how do you think Alexander rates her performance in the months since she took over? This was the very question she was asked during a webcast at the Labour Conference.
We all know most politicians love themselves, so given the donation debacle, you might think she would give herself a 7 or 8 out of 10. But, oh no!! Alexander thinks her performance has been a top notch, can’t be faulted, aspirational 10 out of 10.
The long and short of it is that Labour has learnt nothing from the last election and if they continue in the same vein, they will be a lot longer than four years on the opposition benches.
