The last nine months have not been ones during with the UK’s political parties –and others – have covered themselves in glory. In fact, it has been a period for which redemption should be sought. But what would that mean for each of the parties involved? We asked seven writers to consider this:
John McAllion and Gordon Morgan on the SSP/Solidarity
Vince Mills on Labour
Kevin Williamson on the SNP
Peter McColl on the Greens
Gordon McKay on the trade unions
Isobel Lindsay on civic Scotland
In addition the issue has articles from Carole Ewart on human rights and Henry McCubbin on Europe.
