    '64, Autumn '74 and 2010 are the only times in recent history where Scottish votes have changed the UK result.

    So, you actually talk tulipe. So why should your opinions be taken as valid by anyone when you can't even get a simple and easily verifiable fact correct?
    they have massively increased Labour majority many times, would New Lie have been able to do what they did if Scotland hadn't increased their majority significantly.

    The general elections where Scotland decided who ran the UK - Telegraph

    see - How does Scotland affect the outcome of the general election?

      Yes, seen it. Labour were returned with a majority in all cases in The Blair/Brown years and Scottish votes didn't change that outcome.

      Even without Scottish votes, their majority at their weakest point would have been almost double what the current Govt has. Is that a position of weakness propped up by Scottish MP's in your opinion ??

        If Scotland could be hived off as a going concern then it might be possible to give them more freedom. They have a Parliament & some control over finance use it & prove you are ready to rule rather than whinging.
        UK have stopped us having Devo-max which is the full devolution of powers to Scotland despite the promise during the Indy ref.

        They are now stopping us remaining in the EU despite the entire country of Scotland wanting to stay in it.

        Don't get me started on the poll tax, which was given to Scotland first.

        On to your last statement, which is essentially why Scotland doesn't want to be part of the UK in a snap shot. Scotland is a country and your statement implies they can't take care of our own country. That is a ridiculous statement to make and neither is it the concern of another country, if Scotland is the big burden on the UK like it has been suggested then it should be no loss to the UK nor shall it be a concern on how its run. Quite frankly, I would rather Nicola Sturgeon be in charge of the country than any of the other party leaders.

        The English politics is a joke littered with jokers... Cameron (Pig f*****), Boris (Jester), Corbyn (Nice but dim) and Farage (Racist who proudly sits with Trump).

          Interestingly, in one election they had fewer votes than the current government but far more seats.
