The London leadership will concentrate on maximising their English and Welsh representation, knowing privately that the SNP will support a Labour Queen's speech. Policy concessions for SNP support can be wrangled over after the election. <br /><br />You can now fully understand Labour's lukewarm enthusiasm for devolution back in 1997. They probably knew then that a Holyrood parliament would create this schism in the party by demanding a Scot-centric approach in one house and a UK approach in the other. They knew that would cause problems because insiders knew how far to the right the UK party was headed. Their hope that PR in Scotland would prevent anyone but Labour from holding the reins was their fatal miscalculation. SNP government has forced Scottish Labour to try and be ever more Scottish with the resultant shambles we see today.<br /><br />An alternative take on your a/b explanation above is that a) Murphy was badly trained for his job at the circus, or b) he's gone rogue. Over the next 4 weeks we will either see the listless jumbo rocking back and forth, crushed by captivity, or his keepers frantically chasing him around with tranquilliser guns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
