    I was talking about indy ref faces ... many new MP's voted for by the people of Scotland were prominent faces during indy ref

    Of course they were indy ref faces as you put it - what else would the SNP be?

    People were voting for Westminster MPs this time, not Independence. Totally different and nothing else can be taken from it.

    So what to do about a problem called Scotland?

    Tough love.

    Actually, it's more like the big brother / much smaller baby sister relationship.

    Lulu is Scottish isn't she?

    The problem with this sort of analogy is that many of the baby sister electorate want to stand on their own too feet without big brother dictating what can can cannot be done.

    She wants to be allowed to find her own way in the world and own economic place in the world.

    She no longer wants to be the submissive and doing only what the dominant older brother allows.

    She wants to grow up.

    It's kind of realistic though.

    Lulu gets hugs and kisses from Harry when mom is watching, but behind closed doors, things are different.

    Eventually, Harry gets found out though :)

    True though.

    Ruth Davidson is merely Cameron's puppet as was Murphy of Milliband.

    They don't stand for what the electorate want in Scotland and merely dance to the tune of the main parties.

    Johann Lamont was right when she stood down and said they were nothing more than a branch office to the Westminster party.

    Johann Lamont resigns: Party has 'no clue' on Scotland, says former Labour first minister
    Johann Lamont is to stand down as leader of the Scottish Labour party, after describing some of her Westminster colleagues as dinosaurs who do not understand the politics they are facing since the referendum.

    At the end of a week in which two former Labour first ministers expressed grave concerns about the future of the party, Lamont accused colleagues of trying to run Scotland “like a branch office of London”.

    It is understood that she was unhappy that the general secretary of Scottish Labour, Ian Price, was to be removed from office without her being consulted.

    Give her her due, she certainly had a grasp of what was to come
