Further pressure has been placed on Wendy Alexander to quit as Scottish Labour leader over the illegal donation to her leadership campaign.
Every so often something happens that reinforces my prejudice that Scottish Labour are entirely incompetent - illegaly obtaining funds for a leadership campaign that wasn't run... Takes the biscut somewhat.

Re: Wendy Alexander
looks like someone did already

i'm not a huge fan, but it doesn't seem like the biggest ever issue to me, i'm sure it was an honest mistake and that she concentrates more on more important issues.

Would it be a bigger issue if say she did have to contest a leadership contest? Ignorance of the law is no excuse and all that jazz.

Particularly when you could be forgiven for labouring under the assumption that the more important issues are being put to one side to allow the oppossiton (in time honoured tradition) to blame the party in power for everything (and suddenly finding things unimportant enough to ignore when they were in power to highlight.)

Re: Wendy Alexander
I've never been a fan of Wendy Alexander. From the days that she got a job because Donald Dewar was in her corner to only taking a post at Strathclyde uni because the consultancy work wasn't as hot as she thought she's struck me as the classic 'I am in politics for a career stepping stone' thinking that distinguished new labour from classic labour.
If she quits and Scots labour move on to their 5th or perhaps 6th choice of leader since devolution they'll really be in the shit.

I'm sure it wasn't. The initial donation perhaps, I'm willing to believe they are that retarded. As with so much in politics, it's the cover up that gets you. If they'd been honest when the story broke, she might have got away with it. But drip-feeding the press lie after lie, thinking that they can get away with it shows a depressing contempt for the electorate.

If you saw fit to buy a large slingshot and a huge tub of eggs and rocks before inviting me round to yours, I wouldn't say no.
