Scottish Labour never ceases to disappoint me. Yes, it does smack of factionalism - and tawdry behaviour. I didn't really like Dugdale, but she deserves better support than this. Maybe the pathological hatred of all things SNP has kicked in, as she has an SNP MSP partner. Regardless of this, SLAB seems to elect increasingly innefective leaders; IMHO, the last big hitter was Jack McConnell, and things have spiralled downward ever since. I'm genuinely saddened given the history of the movem ent in Scotland.
