MSP reflects on elections

Labour's campaign manager in the Holyrood elections has confessed the party should have done better.

Writing on the Labour Hame website, Mid-Scotland and Fife MSP John Park said: "Hindsight is always 20:20 and I've often thought to myself over the last four or five weeks, 'If only I had...' I know that many party activists and supporters have their own views on what we should have done better.

"The most important thing is to recognise there are no excuses for losing but there are reasons why we lost. We must address those collectively and decisively, and ensure we fight the next Scottish elections in a manner our party and our country deserves."
