It is more instructive if you change to the alternative view. Then all the constituencies are the same size.
It really does back up how reliant Labour are on Scotland and Wales. Under the current electoral system they would be in big trouble if Scotland got independence.

Not pointless at all. It shows that England has voted for a Tory Government with a huge majority, but has been held back by the three celtic countries.
Ding Dong !
Boy I'm HOT today !
You see, it's the northerners I tell ya. Should all be shoved back down the pits !!!
We don't vote as England though do we, we vote as the UK.

So true. And Labour ensure that we were not given that option when they gave it to their heartlands in Scotland and Wales.

Irrespective of the terms of the devolved government referendum in Scotland in 1997, a referendum for an independent Scotland at that time would almost certainly have failed, and only strengthened the Union.
The perverse thing you're saying is that the very policy at the heart of Conservative doctrine is the one you're advocating destroying to ensure a near-permanent Conservative majority.
You can't have it both ways.

My friend, we are now in a time of great compromise. If that includes a relaxation of views on the union, then maybe that would be a good idea, and benefit the english for a change?
The Large One
Who's Next?
If you want to go firm and hard against one of the strongest and fundamental policies of the Conservative Party, you go ahead and campaign for it.
I'm just wondering if you've considered the consequences of cause-and-effect of jettisoning Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland from the Union would be, above and beyond simply what the colour of the rosettes are sitting on the Government benches in the House of Commons.

Labour are the party of the cities and large towns, particularly the old industrial areas, whilst the Conservatives are the Party of Middle England.
