And Scottish Labour is not exempt: its senior members are currently in a fight for a new leader and deputy in Scotland. It is an internal election that can only leave a bitter taste as a result of the lack of identity the party has in Scotland. For too long Labour in Scotland has treated the country with contempt, but as a result of this year’s referendum, those days are over.

Interestingly, the other main party in Scotland, the SNP, is 
currently holding internal elections to democratically elect a new deputy leader.
