How stupid must Labour feel right now?

Labour’s amendment to the budget was this evening passed by 110 votes yes (SNP + Labour + the Tories) with one against (Margo) and 13 abstentions (the Fib Dems) When it came to voting on the budget as amended the Fib Dems and the Labour group abstained allowing the budget to go through with 64 yes, one against and 60 abstentions.

Yes, that’s right. Labour amended the budget but then failed to vote for it. Ridiculous!

Well, yes, exactly what did you expect from the party without foundations, scruples, (and now funding and power?)

Quite right. Labour disenfranchised the people who voted for them and their actions were just childish.

Well done to Goldie for delivering on her promise to push the Conservative agenda and lets hope that the public now start to realise that once they lost their power Scottish Labour sank into irrelevance.
