| Comment | The Lib Dems and Tories chose to support Labour being a minority administration in Edinburgh as it was either that or a SNP / Green coalition and they sore the former as preferable to the latter. Why they thought that it depends who you ask. Some will say its because they thought the SNP did a bad job in charge of Edinburgh, others will say its because they're just opposing the SNP because of the Nationalist / Unionist divide.
I'm a Trade Unionist so I'd prefer to see Scotlands left of center parties work together where possible but Labour and the SNP have a lot of dickheads who'd rather play party politics and oppose each other than work together to try and improve Scotland.
As for the Scottish Labour party itself, there are some really great genuinely left wing MSPs and Councillors and some who are bloody awful centerists. Really tbh it would be better if we were entirely PR and the Labour Party could split into two different parties, one for the leftists, one for the centerists Blairites. |
