'The Labour party has fallen short. It has not taken up the Scottish question. We fought this as if it was a British by-election. It is a Scottish election. .... Labour is just not responding in a way which the Scottish people find credible.' Glasgow Hillhead Labour MP, George Galloway at the Govan by election count. |
