Scots Tories will be almost wiped out in next GE.
The tactical voting which got some of them elected wi the help of labour voters was not observed by the Tories in labour/SNP marginals.
Yes voters not aligned to the SNP will lend their support to
Labour to kick the Tory/dup government out.

There has been a large protest vote and a huge proportional money spent by the Conservatives in this GE to win key seats.

I too will find it interesting how they deliver going forward.

Interesting times

Why would you be calling the DUP terrorists? Can you please explain your reasoning?

Sure, care to tell us what the next Euro millions numbers are too?

As I recall I called a loss of circa 20 seats in this GE for the SNP. I was told I was way wide of the mark. Turns out I wasn't.

I'm also going to predict that what you suggest will not come to pass and that given the precarious nature of the conservative government we appear to be getting that Ruth will indeed hold some power to get what Scotland wants in a much more effective manner than a regional party never could through moaning. Add to that my previous statement that we have indeed seen peak SNP and from here on in they will need to change drastically how they operate and stop lying to the electorate.

They have been found to have links with the UDA and UVF ... terrorist organisations ... Google is your friend in this instance

By "dancing to the tune of Westminster" do you mean that there are in fact 650 democratically elected MPs in the House of Commons, and that the majority of them do not represent Scottish constituencies?

Isn't Parliament supposed to be sovereign? Doesn't democracy matter anymore?

Nothing to worry about at all ... 1690 was a great time I'm sure

Democracy does matter, of course.
The insinuation was that the 13 Scottish Conservatives MP's would be able to do more than the 56 SNP MP's previously and I've interested to know what and how this will be achieved.

It all remains to be seen, but its entirely possible that the 13 SCMP's are just nodding dogs and the 10 DUP MP's will be able to achieve far more for their region outwith the government than the 13 SCMP's will do for their consituencies

It depends on your criteria for "doing more".

If the criteria is to what extent can grievances be invented then the SNP MPs have been extraordinarily successful.

If the criteria is whether they have achieved anything constructive, then it's null points.

edit: It's not just the Tory MPs by the way, its the other Labour and LibDem MPs as well who will be able to give inputs to the UK Parliament without having to the put on the SNP Angry Face.
