Andy Burnham had an interview in the New Statesman recently. It was mostly about raising his profile with a view to a future return to Westminster, but he did have the interesting idea that elected mayors should be extended to Scotland.
He suggested Westminster should impose this, which is a really stupid idea, but in principle it's the sort of thing that would provide an opportunity for other parties to break the SNP hegemony because it's higher-profile than normal local elections and because it's harder to make a local contest a de facto constitutional referendum.
