I’m an angry angry voter

The government is making me angry, correction, the Labour party is making me angry. They are clearly struggling at the moment, that is fine all parties hit difficulties it is how they handle those difficulties that is the measure of them. Wendy Alexander has had a torrid time since becoming Labour Leader in Scotland, however the breathtaking way in which she has tried to leverage her national party leaders difficulties to boost herself is astonishing. It would be bad enough if the potential collateral damage wasn’t the tearing up of the constitutional settlement that has sustained our nation for 300 years. To be reckless as to the break up of the UK would be unpardonable to deliberately risk it for short term personal political gain is a complete disgrace. Wendy Alexander shoud be ashamed of herself, she should resign at her earliest convenience.

If Ms Alexander fails to do the decent thing then Gordon Brown should dump on her from the greatest possible height. Gordon Brown has often talked about ‘Britishness’ as an antidote to the separatist agenda, he should put his political authority where his mouth is. He should launch a vigorous defence of the Union and hang Wendy well and truly out to dry. He of course won’t do anything of the sort, he will calculate that it will harm his chances at the next election. Yet again personal political advancement coming first. It is an utterly abysmal attitude to take. I have some advice for Gordon, you have no chance of winning the next election. Nothing you do will change that. Have a bit of courage and do the right thing here. Or do you just write books about courage?

Some people are commenting that Labour are treating the constitution as a personal plaything for Labour’s advantage. It is far worse, different factions within Labour are risking our nation for ascendancy in the opening shots of a fratricidal civil war. I apologise for the next sentence as it will contain expletives, I rarely swear in print but I am outraged. Labour are a complete and utter fucking disgrace and should be kicked out on their collective arses at the next election!
