That's the point, as 5.3 million collectively, there are issues that Scotland feels quite differently to the rest of the UK on, that we just get swept away with what everybody else votes.

No, there really isnt. I simply don't accept that.

A majority of England voted Tory in 2010. Scotland only voted in 1 Tory constituency out of 59 in 2010. Is that not enough evidence that we have different opinions to the rest of the UK? Infact, without Scottish influence, the Tories would have had a majority in 2010. Even the Scottish Tories themselves are far more liberal than those right wing maniacs you have down in Westminster.
There are clear differences in the way Scottish people vote to those in England.

This.
There's a reason SNP won on a clear majority in 2011. Westminster simply wasn't representing the electorate.

Exactly! I'm by no means an SNP fan, I find myself more in line with the Greens or the SSP, but the SNP won a clear majority in 2011 because they care about Scotland more than any of the five main parties in Scotland at the moment, they're more in line with the more liberally minded working class population that Scotland has.

There are counties in England that feel the same way and also have comparable populations. I'd much rather keep these regions (including Scotland) in the Union so that the politicians are constantly challenged on there bullshit.
