I get what you are saying about this election though, but keep in mind less than a quarter of Scotland's MPs are tories, in England more than half are tories.

Okay that's a fair point, but at least Labour wouldn't have been in as weaker position as they were this election. Don't worry, I hate the English more than the Scots.
It's just annoying that if the 9 seats the SNP lost to the Tories had stayed yellow, the latter would only be on 309. The 44 seats the SNP then had, combined with Labour's 261, the LD's 12, Plaid's 5 and the Green's 1, would've been enough to vote down a Tory minority government, and hopefully pass a Labour Queen's Speech.
But I lay the blame for this as Scottish Labour's piss poor campaign. Much like many others, Dugdale should've got behind Corbyn.
