"Maybe a more interesting question is why Scottish MPs can vote on legislation that only affects England, and has no impact on Scotland because of devolution. "
Yes something David our PM is looking into. |

Obviously you're a Celt, you hate the English and you want to be shot of us. Fair enough. The problem is, and as I said in another thread, England does not chain the Scots to be a part of the UK. You Scots have the option to get independence at every general election, but only a minority seem to want it. I wonder why. |

If you wish to count socialists, count 6 plus 41 Scottish Labour MPs which essentially hung your Parliament. Take them out and you have your right wing public school Tory Govt. No need to fall in bed with the Lib/Dem leader who was at public school with David. (The word 'fag' from English public school thing certainly comes to mind) At every general election we vote Scottish Labour to try to keep the Tories out of a UK Parliament. At national level we have a minority SNP govt. because we know they're socialists under the guise of SNP. At local level SNP cannot go forwards as local people vote for socialist Scottish Labour.......but SNP socialists have taken a few significant areas even over socialist Scottish Labour. I do know a bit about politics kiddo as my 1st degree from EDI was in politics/social policy. I'm currently working for a large Scottish local authority and regularly chat with the other officials @ Hollyrood. Tell me your credentials to be able to talk utter bollox. PS Andy - we regard Engerland as being England/Wales - same laws, same voting patterns - so I wish my socialist country to be free from England/Wales as you'd then have to call it on the geography books/maps. Maybe just call it Engerland for ease and forget the Welsh attachment. PPS - Hollyrood was not refurbished - was built from new by Tony at a cost of millions over-budget, designed by a Spanish Architect who fortunately is dead as got open wallet by Westwinster or he's still be making adjustments! Tone's way of appeasing the 41 Scottish Labour MPs who helped put him in power in '97 by giving us limited powers. Last edited by Claymores; 01-06-2010 at 12:02 AM. |

How many of the current cabinet went to public school?
Who gives an eff - it is the Greater Engerland Govt. You have said you feel "Scotland is chained to England", so shouldn't you feel angry with your fellow tribes people for not voting SNP and gaining full independence? I assume that's what you want. You should feel lucky in England there is no chance of a nationalist party even getting a seat in parliament let alone independence for England. So we certainly feel chained to you Scots and have to put up with a lot of your people's hatred for class and a capitalist system Scotland has benefited considerably from, yet a lot of you consistently moan about. A good example of a case of biting the hand that feeds you. That is just tosh not worthy of a response Did you pay any tuition fees for your degree? Your education towers above mine. I only went to a state school and had a year at college. As a class warrior and a socialist I am surprised you're getting haughty at your education. Is this because you want to feel intellectually superior to me? Why else would you bring it up? I went to public school kiddo - they let all the public in, anyone at my school. The Government paid my tuition fees unnder the 1st as was the styleee of the time. My employers paid for the 2nd n 3rd. Where is yer problem with that kiddo? |

Scottish Labour MSPs work with the minority SNP Government at Hollyrood as we're all socialists unlike Engerland I have to wonder why the Tories have only 1 MP in Scotland, yet you rule us. Not tenable. If you take it down to being a "Celt" and name calling, then fine. I'm happy to be a socialist Celt and unhappy we're ruled by an Engerland who do not reflect what we overwhelmingly voted where the Tories are 4th party in my socialist country. I'm not necessarily anti-Engerland, or anti-Engerlish - I just believe we have voted overwhelmingly different from England/Wales and have little to do with "Greater England" (what I think it should be called on in the map encompassing the principality of former Wales once we're free).

If you're happy for people in Scotland voting Labour that's fine, just remember you are part of the UK and therefore you have to respect how other people in the country vote who have opposite views to you. |

I really don't mind if their colour is SNP or Scottish Labour. Once we're free you'd have to presume SNP disappears and we vote on other things - one socialist's avowed election points as against anothers Now you've suddely changed tune from 'if Scotland wanted to vote freedom in general election' to 'you have to respect others in UK'. Make up your mind silly child - Scotland did and returned 47 socialists to your David Cameron public school-fest. |
