2010 UK election results in Scotland.

35% of the Scottish electorate voted for Conservative or Lib Dem.

The difference between SNP voters and Con voters is 80,000. Less than 2% swing needed for Con to outvote SNP.

 

How the Scots have the cheek to complain about Thatcher and the evil Tories baffles me. The English had to put up with Tony Blair and Gordon-the illegitimate bastard-Brown and the rest of the Scottish Raj that dominated English and UK politics. They never once brought up the fact that MPs for Scots constituency have no right to determine English policy let alone be Prime Minister. Fair play to the Conservatives for trying to keep the country together by not forcing the matter and fair play to the SNP MPs who refused to vote on English affairs. Labour are such self-serving scumbags.

The Union is finished. It ended when Scotland got her Parliament back. That's what the Union was/is, the English and Scottish Parliaments uniting. It's a federal system or nothing now.

English votes on English laws is a stupid idea. The English (likely Con) "First Minister" is going to block everything a UK (Lab) Gov tries to impose. Utter shambles. Just pull the plug already.

Scotland can be very successful. They have vast natural resources and talent. Unfortunately they like to vote for communists, so it will probably get pissed away. I think the Scots will vote No this time but once the oldies die off it will be a Yes. Give it 20 years, that should be enough time for the English fracking industry to establish itself. Oil, lol.
