Curiously I find myself voting for the green party today to keep the tories out of parliament....a curiosity of our PR voting system.
Comments welcomed...preferably informed ones.

One thing that has curiously puzzled me in the past, is if Scotland were to have another referendum vote for independence.
Why should it be left up to the Scots to decide the outcome and not the whole of the U.K. After all, there are representatives from parties all over the British isles that take their seats and vote over matters in the House of commons and lords.
Forgive me, i don't pretend to know a lot about politics and find it quite a devisive subject matter. Hence why i normally don't like to get involved.

I can't imagine how you would use the words "Scottish" and "news" in the same sentence.

You're either for independence or we'll firebomb your house. Then you can relocate to England...all reasonable see? |
