Leaderless Scottish Labour is now a party bereft of ideas. Johann Lamont is walking away from a party in disarray and in desperate need of modernisation. Labour’s performance and conduct throughout the referendum were considered by many of its supporters to have been a disgrace. At the outset, they ought to have been listening to the Labour for Independence group, instead of denying it existence and then actively demonising it and intimidating it. These people were clearly more in touch with Labour’s grassroots instincts than the Scottish leadership was. This, of course, was confirmed when Glasgow, North Lanarkshire, Dundee and West Dunbartonshire – all Labour heartlands – all voted yes.
