Lets not get all nationalistic about this, there were 757,000 Scots who also voted for this pile of shite in the last election, those 12 seats they gained in Scotland in the end made all the difference to them being able to form their little coalition!!!
Have to say I had never heard of this woman before this scandal made the news, but for me she must be very, very close to crossing some sort of treason line with what she did!!!! Problem is you just know she will end up in some highly paid job for some consulting firm that specializes in Israeli matters when she should be investigated for crimes against the state and maybe even do jail time.
These are certainly unprecedented times in politics!!! Even during the Thatcher era, we all knew what she was planning and we knew she would do it, and if there is one thing to be said about her in comparison to the current shower was she had faith and courage in her convictions and actually had a plan, even if we didn’t agree with most of it. This lot seem to have no plan or clue as to what to do on a variety of fronts, just like we are seeing over here as well!!!!
Sorry,but the election in Scotland was very different to the one fought in England. The scots tories weren't banging on about 'strong and stable' 'brexit means brexit' and 'coalitions of chaos' for a start. They were going on about the SNP being obsessed with independence while they talked of nothing else themselves!
Sturgeons ploy of constantly undermining labour in Scotland and framing the political argument as SNP v tory backfired badly too IMO - she made a mistake. Davidson fought it on the independence issue and harnessed the unionist vote shrewdly,especially in the north east and that's before you get to the sectarian votes that ruthie baby milked unashamedly.
Nationalism was very much the reason people voted tory,on both sides of the border. Just for different reasons.
