Marathon man Andy Kerr MSP of the Scottish Labour Party has published a report criticising the SNP for failing to “implement fewer than half of the policies it said it would introduce in its first 100 days in power.”
Now Mr Smith says this may indeed be the case, but he is not sure that the average punter will really care that much, and that even if they do they will recognise that given Scotland’s “new politics,” it is difficult for any party to deliver on all of its promises when it doesn’t have a majority in the Scottish Parliament which itself has been in recess since 30th June.
Perhaps people are enjoying the Executive “doing less better,” which after all was what former Labour Leader Jack McConnell (remember him?) promised to do when he became First Minister in 2001.
