So Cameron is going to reduce the number of MPs from 650 to 600. That seems easy. Reduce the 59 Scottish constituencies to just 9. This also has the advantage of reducing Scottish influence over English-only issues.

You had your chance to get rid of all 59 and reduce Scottish influence to zero, but you had to come up and beg us to stay with your vow and promising the moon along with a megaton of FUD. Now you will have to pay the price

Did you see Sturgeon is claiming that the EU referendum should have to have a majority in each of the four nations to pass? She doesn't want the English to drag Scotland out of Europe.

I guess the next Scottish referendum should have to have a majority in each Scottish council area to pass, too. Orkney and Shetland don't want the Glaswegians to drag them out of the UK, after all.
