If Corbyn is dumped, why should anyone who cares about workers and the poor bother voting Labour?

6. There are many reasons why Labour imploded in Scotland.

We had a decade or so dominated by Labour leadership infighting and factionalism.

The media coverage read like a synopsis of a cheap knock-off of Game of Thrones with a cast who took themselves and their careers and grudges entirely too seriously. Policy and performance were sidelined, and part of their demise was that people got impatient and looked at a party that wasn't navel-gazing, at least focused on pressing issues even if it didn't have immediate solutions, and decided they could relate to that much better.

People had a left-of-centre-ish option that eventually displayed enough competence as it gradually accrued power to turn to. You don't have that luxury in the rest of the UK at the moment. That's chilling. In some ways, it might have been better for Labour to have split after the last election. It would be a long haul, but at least they'd have made a start.

This interminable focus on personalities, fuelled a by a drooling media, isn't gaining any votes.
