ORIGINAL: WickedsDesire Anyone remember Gordon Brown and why labour lost the election after he came to power – it was ultimately because he was Scottish There's a few reasons besides him being Scottish: failing to insist that Blair stood down when he was supposed to and looking utterly ineffectual before he even became Prime Minister, his mishandling of the bank bailout, and the fact that he was stupid enough to allow the Conservatives to control his media presentaion in the run up to the election spring to mind for a start. Scottishness seems pretty trivial next all that, and I'm sure there's a load more that could be named with half an hour or so's thought. (Now if you'd claimed that Neil Kinnock was unelectable back in '87 mostly because he was Welsh, that I could buy...)
