The socialists still represent ‘traditional’ labour values, it is a shame that they only really exist in west central scotland, if they were nation\country\island wide, there would be less dithering for who to vote for instead of Labour. In fact, it would not even be seen as a protest vote but as vote for the party that most represents the ideals that the labour party once stood for

If the Scottish Socialist party hadn’t split, the Liberals would have come fifth in Glasgow East. It’s clear that the Liberals will be squeezed as much as Labour… unless there’s some kind of electoral reform in the next two years. I suspect Labour might change the way we vote (from FPTP to STV) if it’s in their interest…

A leadership challenge could trigger a General Election and the wipe out of the lib/dums, this is what he means and fears.

I think he has accepted, that in scotland at least, the liberals are now the biggest of the non important parties, the greens, the BNP et al. The tories are now number 3, in the struggle between labour and the SNP.
