Indeed it is. But what is the point when laws are passed by an undemocratic house?

OK, I had no way of knowing (and it wasn't a sarcy Q either). I'm surprised that you feel a country which gives you a limited franchise is more democratic than one which offers a full franchise. "Democracy" is your right to vote, not whether you like the result or not.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostActually yes, I can vote in local elections.

I like Ruth Davidson, she is a canny politician - but she is talking sh*te if she thinks that tax is the reason that immigrants favour the rest of the UK over Scotland, I doubt most Scots, and probably even more immigrants, would have any clue about the difference in income tax rates between England and Scotland (40% rate kicks in £2k earlier).Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostElection 2017: Davidson says immigrants find Scotland 'unattractive' - BBC News
That must suck, I wonder how the Scottish people feel about that? Gutted I guess.
