They deserved that "thumbs down" response and I base that on the totally undemocratic comments uttered by some of their biggest offenders like Ian Murray. They don't want any threat to their preciooouuuusssssssss union and I'd like them to just say it explicitly thereby splitting off a good proportion of people who supported them at one time but don't agree with their obsessive "direction of travel" and the way that they are trying to "force it down people's throats" with no respect for Scotland or its citizens - absolutely disgraceful and they can GTF!!! 
Moving away from Scot Labour's consistent "out of touch" approach, I must mention there are initial moves up here to formulate a written constitution for Scotland. This being done by a registered charity named Constitution for Scotland which comprises a group of well-disposed Scots whose template will enable a readily accessible debate via the web and other media. This group is not connected to any political organisation and its website will be launched later on in the summer. It will provide a skeletal outline for Scotland's future detailed policy doc. The proposals include:- Fundamental laws that define the state, establishing and regulating institutions, protection for the rights of all citizens and the natural ecosystem by authorising the extent of powers available to the govt, setting a framework for social justice, authorising the currency and the Govt's fiscal powers, providing a legal framework for the governance and wellbeing of the people of Scotland and for the world in which we live, a decentralised, proportionally representative form of govt with national, regional and community levels - each with clearly defined autonomous powers, thus providing for effective decision-making at the most appropriate level, that all candidates for election be selected at constituency level and elected using the single transferable vote system. The "template" WCS has been formulated to stimulate debate on specific proposals rather than vague notions, but isn't prescriptive. IMO it is time to leave the Scot Labour Party and their allied unionist Tories (when it comes to anything relative to the dreaded Scot indy issue!) and their backward "out of touch" policies, well behind to push on with far more positivity than these political dinosaurs could ever muster up here.
