    Criteria for a Labour leader

    Must have been educated at private school, the more expensive the better. Just Like Mr Ed A Darling, I Gray Harriet somebody and a load of Balls.

    Must be posh.

    Must never have had a real job, MPs gofor preferred, but PR etc considered as long as they never got their hands dirty.

    Must never have been a socialist. (google socialist if you have never heard the term before, it was PB, thats pre Blair)

    Even with Labours dwindling membership you have loads who will fit the criteria.

    I got sent to the naughty step twice by them and I did not even tell them how bad they were.

    Still I am happy, they have not got a clue, and are happy telling themselves they only need a new leader and everything will be great.

    Jackie Ballie and Dicky Baker a dream team Niko. Join the SNP while we will still take you. We will be full up if we keep going at this rate.

    P.S. Did you see Newnight North Briton last night Niko, it will give you some idea of the mountain Labour need to climb to still be a distant second. Happy days.

    I am surprised they haven't asked cooncilor Kelly Niko to aid them in in their quest for a loser(given up on spellchecker).:)

  5. Can I apply Niko?

    I couldn't do a worse job than the last one.

    "Let's have a campaign against the Tories. They have 16 seats after all."

    And I love Subways, although I wouldn't sleep in one.!

  6. I've just read the post... and one of the early responses suggest that they have to have a Westminster MP as leader, and he will then move up to Scotland at the first opportunity to take over in Holyrood. Apparently we need that kind of experience.

    Who's that gonna be then?

    Will they never learn?

    Even more crap from Labour away Hame.

    Two problems for Labour, their MPs are just as crap as their MSPs, it just that they are further away and do a lot less that they can hide how crap they are.

    A Westminster MP would have to stand in a first past the post seat. Labour do not have many of them, where would they win if a by election was held now? They cannot use the assisted places scheme that supplies the majority of the looser as a vacancy there goes to the next person from that party on the list.

  8. SNP / Labour both are hardcore leftist parties who are both living in a parallel universe from economic and political reality.

    Scottish Conservative for me, at least they are honest and don't pretend the state can pay for everything ...

    You and Niko could be a comedy double act. Wait a minute both your parties are are comedy acts as it is. Elmer and the Matron, what a carry on.

    Niko and his lot are ready to join the torys sitting on the outside of Scottish politics looking in.

    No mater what spin you want to put on it Dean, the SNP delivers competent government for Scotland. Remember that, Scotland not the south of England, and thats what Scots are now voting for.
