Jack off

Jack McConnell has resigned as leader of the Scottish Labour party, having never recovered from being unknown to Patricia who-it? during the Holyrood election campaign. The race to replace him begins here: the likely runners are

sister Wendy Alexander – sister of Douglas “Miss Hoolie” Alexander, protege of Gordon Brown, intellectual, acknowledged vote-winner due to her caring personality and highly charismatic persona (evidenced by each of the three previous pieces of information);

Andy Kerr – Continuity Jack candidate, Kerr was health minister, looks a little like a chipmunk with glasses (think one of the backing singers from Alvin and the chipmunks), affable, perhaps a little too like Jack McConnell to win, has yet to endorse sister Wendy;

Margaret Curran – not tipped to win but has many attributes, she’s witty, has a little more of the popular touch than Wendy Alexander, is unlikely to be flustered by wee Eck in the Parliament – my preferred choice, hence, unlikely to be anywhere.

Field Major Dr Styre  – if he comes to Scotland, takes Jack’s seat and then wins the leadership – unlikely but sure to irritate Salmond, his own party, the public, and those furth of Scotland.

So, who should be Scottish labour’s next leader
