The implosion of New Labour, and the British Labour Party (Scotland Region) continues apace, and above is my suggestion for a new anthem to replace the Red Flag, an inappropriate song for a political party that has privatised more Public Services than Thatcher and Major.
Only months ago we were promised that when the Westminster Election (2007 postponed) will finally be called, the key theme from New Labour would be competence. In this regard, on both sides of the border, they have failed with distinction.
From losing the personal details of millions to having employment shorter than many call centre workers for its own spin doctors, you can only wonder how long the potatoes would run out if New Labour/BLP (Scotland Region) were running a chippy!
Like the Liberal Democrats, they are now prone to errors on a daily basis.
In Scotland of course, they look even more tired than they did when they formed the Executive, and the daily "broken promise" press release appears more like a broken record. For a political party shy of only 1 seat in the Scottish Parliament, you would expect better, however, BLP (Scotland Region) reach unparalleled depths of ineptitude.
There's a crisis at its core, and I am now beginning to wonder whether comparisons with Lloyd Georges Government are more apt. Consider this, a political party elected by a huge mandate but in the process sold its core beliefs to hold onto power, only in time to be swept away as the voter showed its contempt, ended in the wilderness.
Competence or the lack thereof will be their undoing.
In time as the song says they will face the music................
