Scottish independence - Labour implodes over Referendum issue


Even though the Scottish Nationalist Party (SMP) have repeated timeand again that they won't be swayed from their predicted 2010 timeframefor a referendum on Scottish independence, Labour leader in ScotlandWendy Alexander, has called for an early vote on the issue.

Nevertheless, the Labour referendum call has been warmly welcomedby the SNP, but has caused a stir among Labour Party leaders in London,who didn't seem sure yesterday of who said what. Initially Alexander said that her position was supported by the Prime Minister Gordon Brown, but yesterday when questioned about the issue in the London House of Commons, Brown said: "That is not what she has said."This certainly indicated that there had already been a breakdown of communications between Edinburgh and London, leading to allegations that the Labour Party in the UK was ready to implode. Either way,Alexander has now placed the Labour Party in the UK in an uncomfortable position. If Alexander backs down, a vote of no confidence in her leadership looks likely, whereas if Brown is seen to backing her call it would effectively be devolving the constitutional future of Scotland to Edinburgh. With a disastrous local election result for the Labour Party in Wales and England last week, Alexander's timing on this issue will lead to many party members doubting her leadership credentials. In addition,Brown's own poor handling of the situation has also caused doubts over his leadership too. Deputy Leader of the SNP, Nicola Sturgeon, said yesterday:"At a stroke, Gordon Brown has destroyed her [Alexander's] leadership- and placed serious questions over his own…"An interesting period of in house political wrangling lie ahead for Labour from which the SNP only stand to gain.

Well reported and well said ! Freedom lies ahead for Alba from the Anglo yoke !
