| If the Scots want a say in how the union is governed, they should vote Labour or Conservative and help install Milibean Minor or Cameron in Downing Street with a working majority. As it seems they find Milibean Minor even less appealing than the southern Britons do, they appear to be intending to send representatives to the Westminster parliament who would prefer that it ceased to have any power over them, and probably try and spend the next five years causing enough mischief to persuade the southern Britons to secede from the Union themselves. Of the past ten Prime Ministers of the U.K., two (Blair and Brown) were Scots-born, and three (Macmillan, Douglas-Home and Cameron) had Scots-born parents or grandparents. The Queen is herself half-Scots (her mother was born in England to a Scots family). So to suggest that the Scots have not had their fair share - or indeed more than their fair share - of a say in how the Union is governed is nonsense. |
