Richard Leonard MSP
was on Ridge (SkyNewsHD) at 8:50AM

He says he is staying put
and says they elected him.


Of Course Labour only have one MP
in Scotland.


He claims he will make progress?

[joeysteele]

He seems rather ineffective sadly.
Although Labour votes have just about all gone to the SNP.

I actually have no issue with that.
The SNP do a good job in running Scotland overall.

literally noone knows him

scotland does not want socialism from old party labour

its a dead party with dead ideas that no one votes for anymore

[joeysteele]

I thought they'd pulled the confidence vote.
I find him not effective at all.

However Labour votes are as I indicated earlier in the SNP camp now.
I'm fine with that, the SNP aren't Cons thank goodness now.

Labour is unlikely to get a return of votes while the SNP do so well in running Scotland.

However, if the SNP were to fail.
Then it's Labour in the main the votes will return to.

Although I'd agree with the critics, Richard Leonard is not the one to have any chance of that.

Yeah, I didn't even know who the leader was to be honest. Scottish Labour is dead in the water currently. We sadly have plenty of Tories (though not enough to win seats in most constituencies) but the split is basically SNP/Tory. Which is quite staggering really, I'm not THAT old but I'm old enough to remember when Scotland was full of safe Labour seats.

Nicola Sturgeon wipes the floor with him everytime he rises to ask her a question in the Holyrood parliament.

I don't think he can have scored a single point over her at all.

politics is all over the place but the SNP aren't in a decline yet, so labour are stuffed in Scotland. When I first voted, the tories and labour were just about equal in Scotland with the SNP a distant 4th behind the liberals. Safe seats can be decimated in the space of 2 elections and it happens quite frequently

Sean Connery calls him one sheet.
