People were gullible enough to think the Lib Dims would win by having that system implemented, yet in other PR elections all the minor parties are winners except the Lib Dems.
    We in Scotland do know about coalition government as we've had a few up here since the parliament was established again. The Tories are the major party and the Lib Dems dropped their main manifesto promise to get a sniff of power. You surely can't be saying the Lib Dems are controlling the Tories, can you?

    Why are SNP and UKIP supporters to blame for FPTP when we would be better off under PR? We would change to PR if we could. Your statement doesn't make sense.

    Oh dear, that's a very minor point to pick up on to deflect from the main point. Yes, it's a coalition but the vast majority are Tories so voting Labour in Scotland didn't prevent it and voting SNP won't help the Tories this time.

    There is talk in some quarters that we will be in the position to call UDI if the voting turns out the same as the polls.

    And also the story of the "Vow Delivered" which was clearly a lie. IPSO found the Record guilty and they were forced to print a retraction although they buried it and also kept the lie online.

    He calls him self Reverend but he has no dealings with the church, that is probably a sign he has had some kind of Icke type break down at some point. When he was asked about the strange behaviour he said it was something to do with Wikipedia, yet Wikipedia had not be started until after the revered appeared in his name.

    HIs comments about Hillsborough and 9/11 are just bonkers, generally anything he talks about has a really sinister edge.

    He is definitely border line personality, very probably sociopathic. He also talks a lot of tulip.

    So, recently Scotland voted for Labour in 50ish seats each time in 1970, 1974, 1979, 1983, 1987, 1992 & 2010 and yet we had Tory governments. I know you're thick so here's a nice graph that might help. If not, just look at the pretty colours...

    When?
