We have an extreme rightwing government in this country, although it's called the Labour government.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When New Labour came to power, we got a Right-wing Conservative government. I came to realise that voting Labour wasn't in Scotland's interests any more. Any doubt I had about that was cast aside for ever when I saw Gordon Brown cosying up to Margaret Thatcher in Downing Street.
And under our system, much like you see in the U.K., of course, a party working with another party can form a coalition and govern the country.
People know where I stand in the Labour party and what I believe in.
I'm still batting away on my politics for the Labour Party. I'm much further to the left of them than I used to be, but that's because they've moved, not me.
The Conservatives, along with Labour, I don't think understand what it is like to run a business.
I've said in the primary race repeatedly that a Labour Party that I lead would be a true red Labour Party, be very clear about its social democratic roots and its social democratic agenda.
Not once in my life has the Tory Party come anywhere close to winning an election in Scotland, and yet, for more than half my life, we have had a Tory government. That is wrong and undemocratic.
It's not just parliament that requires radical modernisation. It's our democratic processes.
Ours is a fully democratic government, which in our language we call a people's government.
We need to keep this Labour government, it has a good chance of another term.
