Subject: RE: BS: UK General Election
Yeagh of course I am PFR but honestly the Scots only sent one Tory MP to Westminster. What party the other 58 are makes no difference to the Tory majority as they are all opposition MPs. Likewise all of the Blair/Brown governments had a clear majority of seats in English constituencies. The idea that Labour can't win without Scottish seats is wrong as proved by historical results - and the idea that the English can't be trusted to govern themselves without the help of Scots members is surely daft and a tad insulting to the English public.
