Alex Salmond said half the Scottish population was English or of English descent, the other half is of Irish descent.
Ergo Scotland does not exist.

I know Alex quite well as used to drink with him in the pubs in EDI when my flatmate was the leading SNP student in SNP group (I was not). Tell me where/when he said that nonesense you just tried to quote and I'll get his response.

It all seems untenable as we have nothing to do with England thought-wise about what we want

But they still do

The only socialist parties in Scotland are on the fringes... meaning whichever party Tommy Sheridan is a member of these days.

Labour in Scotland is the same as UK New Labour. The Scottish MPs agreed to stand under its manifesto so must agree with its policies.

And that's why we have a minority SNP government @ Hollyrood who refused to fall into bed Lib/Dems to gain a majority but instead work with the other socialists to form a working government eh James?

But your argument about the Tories not being entitled to rule Scotland only relates to the UK government; Holyrood doesn't come in to it as that has a different ruling party.

And the UK Labour party is the same as Scottish Labour when it comes to UK elections.

If you go back to the opening post, my argument relates to Scotland being an essentialy socialist country now ruled by a Tory Government. In Scotland yez have one MP, no mandate.

Others brought in national and local elections..............socialists similarly win 80+% of the popular vote in each, hence a socialist Hollyrood.

Explain to me like I'm a 5 year old why a distincly different country should be ruled by your government????
