Because its breaking up the country!! Im not bitter about it, I just find the whole prospect very sad. And as the OP says...I don't think many of the Scots are too keen either...just he extremists.

One of the sad points on this thread and subject, quite a few Scots actually do believe
that the English dislike them,and even take some of the light hearted banter exchange as serious criticism.:p

I think the reason the SNP voted with the tories was it was comeback time for Labour screwing Scotland at the Devo vote.However there were alot of backbench defections from Labour that didnt help their case and there was a general election after the no confidence vote which the SNP was reduced to 2 seats.
Hindsight is wonderful. It's always very easy to second guess after the fact.

That looks better now..........

Mrs T would have been most grateful for the SNP support.
