Another nail in the coffin of the United Kingdom looks likely.

The death of sitting Labour MP John McDougall in Glenrothes, means another by election is to be held there in November.

Labour is defending a 10,000 votes majority in Glenrothes, which is right next door to the seat held by prime minister Gordon Brown.
Regardless of the size of the Labour majority, the bookmakers make the Scottish Nationalists 1/4 to win the seat.
A victory for the Nationalists in Glenrothes would mean a voting swing of over 15%....so much for Teribus's "just a mid term protest vote".... in reference to the Glasgow East result.

I will update this thread regularly, to keep members posted on the "last days of the UK" ......Ake
