Neil Findlay wants Scottish Labour shift to left
The Lothian MSP – who is in a three-cornered contest with Jim Murphy and Sarah Boyack – said such policies were now “mainstream” in Scotland.
And he called for more power to be handed to the party in Scotland. He said: “The party has to have more autonomy over policy – over policies like, we should be able to take the railways back into common ownership in Scotland, I think we should do that. There’s opportunities for us, for example, to bring PFI contracts back in-house. These are issues that the Scottish Labour Party could make decisions over and should make decisions over and if that’s different from the Labour Party at a UK level, then so be it.”
