I think sometimes the media are too harsh when a long standing politician stands down particularly when they are of older years such as Brown and have had a long career. We slate politicians for being too old and losing the plot with age but then slate them If they go too quickly. Darling should have gone years ago... about as useful as a phart In a spacesuit.
Well you asked, so I'll tell you... I just got back from the annual conference oup north... We had three European leaders of Nationalist parties speak, Germany, Poland and Spain and It was very Interesting to hear the similarities of nationalism and trends In those countries and It Is very similar to what Is happening here.
We were decimated from the Bron's leadership challenge two years ago and In all honesty, we feared the Party would fragment further when we expelled Griffin. In fact, many wrote us off. People did resign when Griffin was expelled because for one, they believed Adam's different approach would do the Party further damage. We had people also saying that It would be decades before we could ditch the baggage of Griffin.
But something really strange happened Saturday night. I was watching Lancashire ITV In my hotel room and they announced the BNP were In Blackpool for the annual conference. That was a first ! Then I'm sitting there waiting for the negative crap to come and far from It. It's the first time a newsreader has called us delegates. They also did an article In the Blackpool Gazette and radio stations. It was the positivity of the reporting, we have never had that. It does appear we have turned a corner In that respect.
At the conference, there were many good people we lost that have returned because they couldn't work under Griffin.
Anyway... the upshot Is this... we know we can't make great gains In May. We don't have the backers UKIP have to be able to stand a candidate In every Ward but having said that, we do have some quality candidates that the Party are Investing everything Into. We only need two returned and we will finally have a voice. Yet, we are not kidding ourselves. All our work today Is for 2020 when UKIP are seen by the electorate for what they really are. We believe by then, they will have created chaos to the estblishment and then, we'll pick up the pieces.
We are rebuilding and that will take time..yet we are who we are and we never give up and we'll never go away.

Retirement should not be confused with Resignation. My M.P., John Denham, is standing down at the next election in favour of Rowenna Davis. He's not guilty of any wrongdoing. He just thinks it time to hand over the reins.
Personally I think Gordon Brown is a total pratt & good riddance to bad rubbish, but no matter what the media hypes it up as, it's still a case of retirement rather than resigning in disgrace.

My point was they are both getting out before the labour party ceases to be a political force in scotland.

I doubt it will. Sure, there was a surge in support of SNP around the referendum, but now that's all over & the vote was 'No', I imagine things will probably settle down to much as it was beforehand.
