BARRING unforeseen circumstances, the Scottish LibDems will shortly elect Alex Cole-Hamilton as their new leader. Cole-Hamilton is arguably only in the Holyrood Parliament because the Tories in his Edinburgh Western seat voted tactically, as did Labour voters in the constituency in 2016, all to keep out the SNP. In strictly historical terms, the Scottish Liberal Democrats are the successors to the Liberal Party which dominated Scottish politics for much of the late 19th century and early 20th century. They once had truly great men in their ranks including two of the greatest Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom, William Ewart Gladstone and Sir Winston Spencer Churchill. Two other Liberal MPs for Scottish seats, Herbert Henry Asquith and Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, also made it to No 10, Asquith holding his East Fife seat for 30 years while Campbell-Bannerman remains the only PM born in Glasgow.
