they were democratically elected by the scots
but come independence then I'm sure the lads will sort things out OK

some scots will be more equal than others

Maybe if they actually listen to their employers then yes they might get some seats ... or even win ... but listening to Murphy the current leader of the Labour party ... it doesnt appear he is able to... Its already SNP bad indy ref indy ref SNP bad coming out of his mouth ...


I have been very open about wanting all parties represented in Scotland ... I dont want a totally SNP parliament ... well not once we get independence anyway

your authoritarian nationalistic rantings are quite clear about your undemocratic intentions.

Welcome to the one party Scottish nation : you may not be welcome in Europe but I believe the Russian empire is looking for new friends.

Imagine if Scotland has sent all Labour Mp's down and not SNP ... Scotland would have no voice at all then

A lovely analogy and one which accurately depicts this union we are in.

I meant people other than SNP voters, rather than people other than Scotsmen, which I think your 91.5% is.


Hope you don't mind if we forcefeed the lion powdered milk through a funnel while its in the small box......

There is also the matter of the size of constituencies and the number of people in them

For background

The largest constituency in the UK, geographically, is Ross, Skye and Lochaber – which is about 12,000 sq km. The smallest is Islington North, whose area is just 727 hectares.

In terms of population, the largest constituency is the Isle of Wight, with an electorate of 110,924 in 2010. The smallest is Na h-Eileanan an Iar (formerly Western Isles), whose 2010 electorate was 21,837

On the last government, the Conservatives wanted to even things up while at the same time decreasing the cost of government by reducing the number of MPs. That could not go ahead because the LibDems would not agree even though it was part of the joint Coalition "manifesto".

Clapton seriously ... this is gonna be my last reply to you, then I think I am going to block you cause your lack of any real understanding bores me senseless ...

If Labour had done what their employers had asked they would have won their seats yesterday, they didnt, so they paid the price

I want to see a multicoloured parliament always have done ... but only one that really does what the employers want them to... I do want independence for my country that will NEVER change and I believe that the SNP is a great vehicle to achieve this for the people...

but when we become independent I am almost 100% positive that Scotland will no longer be a huge SNP seat, it will become more multicoloured and reflect the people...

Now if labour have to stand any chance of that then they need to learn where they went wrong and stop giving it SNP bad indy ref indy ref SNP bad ... Jim Murphy has already done this today, the man is seriously the gift that keeps on giving to Scotland ... but he isnt good for Scotland so whilst he will help us achieve independence faster ... he does need to go...

Labour stopped speaking up for the people of Scotland a long time ago... they became London centric Scotland has had enough and made its choice, so with the SNP going down our voice will be heard ... and loudly... it is gonna be an interesting time

Radio 5 suggested this could be worth another 20-25 seats to Con.

Short of independence, what do the SNP actually want?

If you read the SNP manifesto you would know.

• An end to austerity.
• Increased NHS funding.
• An end to child poverty.
• Trident scrapped.
• Abolition of the House of Lords.
• Increased MNW

To name but a few.
