Politicians. Pedestals and Nationalists
He’s not wrong in his analysis, but he misses one crucial aspect of Labour’s decline: himself. I doubt I’d have joined a political party if it wasn’t for his own premiership.

I follow all of Glasgow constituency MSPs and MPs who are all from the SNP of course.
Stewart McDonald (Westminster MP for Glasgow South) is one of the more able parliamentarians, in my opinion, but I had to respond to his tweet about his alleged reasons for joining the Scottish nationalists:
"Just as well the SNP have avoided hero worshipping their leaders or putting them on pedestals!"
Because it seems to me the SNP has a similar problem with personality cults as the fanatical followers of Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon demonstrate only too well.
