    I thought the same thing actually. The 2028 European championship Final will be between Lanarkshire and Tuscanny

    Vote them out. Which we would be able to do.

    As it stands we have little to no voting impact on who occupies Westminster and those ****s know that.

    The difference being we end up with a Party that most people voted for as opposed to a party in Westminster that a tiny minority voted for. If the SNP do a **** job we can vote them out in 2016. If the Tories win next year (and it's looking likely they will) they will still have control over much of Scotland even if no one up here voted for them.

    When you factor in that the Government is a Lib/Con coalition, then that works out at 37% of Jocks voted for this Government.

    40% voted for Labour and 20% SNP.

    And what has happened to Lib-Dem polling figures in Scotland since they sold out their voting base for a suckle at Dave's teat?

    I had a Yes campaigner telling me that the vote for independence was not connected to politics...

    He was an angry wee man at times. Short n bald!

    The burd (pumpable) with him was reasonable and listened but he was getting a bit ranty!

    "most people" didn't vote for the SNP though? But they're in a majority government?

    A huge 36% of Scotland voted Con/Lib, just 5% less than Labour. Most people didn't vote for any of these parties, yet we still end up with a government that most people didn't vote for.

    It's spastic logic to use a Tory government in Westminster to go for Independence. "Tiny minorities' voted Tory? What like the 17%, 2% less than who voted SNP? 1% less than Lib-dems.

    GTF!
