Carnegie was saddened to read of the death of Fife Labour MP John MacDougall.
"Scottish Labour MP John MacDougall has died after a long illness. The MP for the Fife town of Glenrothes had been battling mesothelioma, an incurable asbestos-related cancer of the lining of the lungs, for some time. His death will trigger a by-election in the seat, which neighbours Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency."

He will be missed and the reality is that there will be very fewer takers to bet that the Labour Party will hold onto his seat at the by-election.
Remember when Labour used to dominate Fife politics? Not any more. And probably the beginning of the end for PM Gordon Brown if he can't even hold a seat on his own "patch."
