Regardless of what I think of GG.

//There's also another problem: England has too many seats where you could pin a blue rosette on anyone and put them up on the ballot in the general, and that person would win. On the whole, it takes Scottish and Welsh Labour seats for the Labour Party as a whole to have a majority in Westminster - unless Labour have a spectacular year (like 1997). Otherwise in a separate England as it stands there would be a perpetual Conservative government, at least until some people wake up in England and see what's happening. //

I've heard this before and when I looked at the numbers. It shows England/UK is more than able to return a New Labour Government without Scotland then they want one. Only two times have Scottish MPs given Labour a majority e.g. 1964 and 1974. That they wouldn't already have without Scottish MPs. (1)

SW England is 'Essex-man' through and through, the 3 main parties pander to his politics.
