(50,254 posts)The Scottish Labour Party has learned nothing from its humiliations in the last two Westminster and Holyrood elections. It has changed nothing at all in how it presents itself and what it stands for. It is STILL essentially opposing the SNP from the right(despite the fact that it has no chance of increasing its vote totals by doing so). The coming further humiliation will be solely the responsibility of the remaining Scottish Blairites.
The most dramatic result of the Holyrood voting, though, is the liklihood that the Scottish Lib Dems will fall to FIFTH place, behind the Scottish Greens(in elections for a body the Liberals supported before any other party in the UK-there's sledghammer irony for you).
The only chance SLAB has for ever recovering is to do a complete re-think...which the proximity of this election to the last Westminster elections may have prevented for this cycle.
