which general election, the Scottish or the UK... its interesting to note how differently the Scots currently vote depending on the parliament concerned, returning only 6 SNP and 40 Labour to Westminster, while 65 and 37 respectively to Holyrood. so it will be most interesting to see how it...

look up the name of the party and its origins.

this topic is raised and debated elsewhere. I've come to the conclusion that those that think Cameron should resign in the event of a Yes, are those on the left that want to attack him for being a Tory PM and those on the right who dont think hes good enough/right wing enough to be a Tory PM...

concerning the party name "Conservative and Unionist Party", i have come to learn that this name hasnt actually been in use since 1965, and refers to the union with Ireland. has nothing to do with Scotland.

be interesting to see how many English left wingers do take the opportunity to head north.

actually, that's a fair point. but you say it as if its bad. less policy mean less change and new unnecessary law, for sake of being seen to do something.

it occurs to me that Salmond and the SNP leadership must resign, no?

tell that to the good people at Woodlands. "broadly synonymous" doesnt mean "the same". and what question, are you stalking me? im not sure if i should be flattered or not. (thats rhetorical btw, dont care to spark off cross thread discussions.)

it was just an excuse to link to that great website. i'd prefer to trust the word of woodlands junior than some stuffy dictionary.

ask some school children.

and the other 1974 election, and 2010 (19 maj., not 4), and given Major a strong 70 seat majority vs weak 21. with 18 elections, 27% have been materially changed by the Scottish vote.

isnt a Yes win a victory for Salmond? i find it interesting that it should be such emphasis on a loss for the No, rather than a victory for the Yes. I really think the blame should lie with Salmond and his party, they have done all the work of convincing Scottish people they can have it all.

up to his party really. there's no Scottish support of the Tories to speak off, he's been quite clear he wont resign in that event (so it doesnt become an effective vote of confidence), and the benefits to England could be seen a victory.
