And in those few words I think you've encapsulated why Scotland is moving towards becoming an independent nation again. Basically you're saying that any vote for Scottish independence (only available through the SNP) doesn't count. So, Scotland doesn't count? Well, sorry to burst any unionist bubble, but the SNP vote is growing with every year. People (north too, but maybe down south, especially) sneered at the Scottish people's desire for a fairer society with spending priorities for the people (as opposed to tax-raising ID card schemes and obscene nuclear weapons programmes, for example).
Just watch SNP power grow from now on. And bring it on!
Anyway, why do people in England even give a monkey's about what Scotland does? If they're subsidy junkies as the unionist want everybody to believe, then surely they should be got rid of?
