Can I just point out that in the past Conservatives have governed Scotland and Wales when they would rather have had other parties and yes it is very annoying but you are never going to please everyone.
thing is england does not have its own assembly - it allows scottish and welsh mps to have their say there (and NI). It isn't at all the same
I'm still happy to have wales and scotland in the UK and have them have more £ per head than the english to pay for things we english can't have - but i do not want scotland and wales to decide on a political party for england and for themselves when we can't have our say - that's effectively the top and bottom of it - unless the Libdems choose tory.SSM wrote:We were all happy to have Wales and Scotland as part of Great Britain when the coal mines and oil rigs were nationalised.
There is also a markets perspective on all of this but i'll save that for another time
Maybe Scotland was also glad to be part of UK when somone had to invest time and money to get that oil out of the bottom of the North Sea. Had they not been part of the UK maybe that oil would still be at the bottom of the seaWe were all happy to have Wales and Scotland as part of Great Britain when the coal mines and oil rigs were nationalised.
