It's not which of the Milibands that matters. What needs addressing is the Scottish Labour party, its policies and practices or, that is, an uncleansed Scottish Labour party. Neither Labour, specifically, nor the United Kingdom, more generally, can have such an organisation unreformed playing any role in our politics. Labour needs to hold a very public inquiry into Scottish Labour, and the leadership election should address this requirement.
No democratic, pluralist and UK-wide social democratic party can have something like Scottish Labour involved with it. It's unsafe for the whole of the country, as the defeated regime has shown.

Unfortunately - perhaps for all of us - without Scottish Labour, the Labour Party can forget any possibility of ever forming a government again.
Drastic cleansing therefore seems unlikely.
They're between a rock and a hard place.
