    Do you really want her to vote more on issues that affect us here in England?;)

    .
    Actually no.
    But I do think she has a responsibility to attend parliament and use her life experience to try and enrich the lives of the people who put their trust in her.

    That is the way it is at the moment. If she feels that way she can always abstain. I am assuming that would be recorded?

    I thought the Proud Scots voted otherwise. But when did democracy ever get in the way of rabid nationalists.

    Lol!
    Who's denying Scotland anything?
    The Scots are free to leave whenever they want and their last opportunity to do so was a mere two years ago.

    So the SNP berate Douglas Ross, who has voted in 96.15% of divisions - well above average, for not attending when their own rising star only votes in 19.23%. In fact Ian Blackford, SNP leader, has only voted in 88.46%. Pots and kettles comes to mind.

    Well perhaps just perhaps when she has cleared up her own constituents sticky matters,she could nip round and help Sturgeon sort out her own constituents disgusting living conditions.

    Sturgeon is absolutely shameless.
