    What should an elected party do then?

    How do tory policies benefit the public?

    Looking at wikepedia, tuition fees were introduced in 98 so I guess you are lying/delusional.

    Everyone in Scotland does get the same deal .

    Do you think the Scottish government should base all their decisions on what Westminster is going to do ?

    Devolution is not the problem . A right wing Westminster government is the problem . I advise you to talk to you local mp and tell him you're not happy .

    I agree the government should govern in the interest of the electorate. Clearly there are self-serving politicians across the political spectrum, to single out the Tories for this is daft.

    Don't need to I can remember. Labour scrapped tuition fees in Scotland. Maybe in England it was different but not in Scotland.

    I am singling out their policies. How does privatising the NHS benefit the public?

    Don't you live in England? If so you don't live in a country where you get a different deal depending on which bit of the country you live in.

    Your version of events seems to differ from everyone else's.

    I wasn't which you knew. Scotland has it's own powers so if you have an issue with free prescriptions, Education or free bus travel for the over 60s take it up with the UK Government or move to Scotland.

    Not really the tories govern for themselves not for the general public as a whole.

    It's a Union of countries - and competition between them is a great thing for keeping Government in check. The English rightly point to Scotland and ask how they can afford free University - if it wasn't for devolution the question wouldn't be getting asked and we'd all be stuck with a Westminster monopoly.
