The price of failure for Jack McConnell, the former leader of the Labour Party in Scotland, who had his arse kicked by the SNP Leader, Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, is to be exiled to Malawi. Although Jack McConnell gets a fancy sounding title, that is, British High Commissioner to Malawi, and he states that his motive for going there is altruistic "to help improve education for some of the poorest children in the world", it's really akin to a Russian being exiled to Siberia for upsetting the Soviet Regime.
