Labour leapt into Brexit's fires - and now the party is burning

[Ken Burch]

31. I respect your opinions.

And you are right, I don't live there(I'm in the states, not Canada-I just cited Canadian examples because they have a parliamentary system). I post about UK issues mainly out of solidarity and internationalism.

Obviously independence is your choice if you want it and I agree that Scotland as a country has been treated badly by Westminster.

I'm open to learning(the info about the Greens came from a Scottish website, for the record) and if I lived there I'd probably have voted SNP against most of the major parties there in the Holyrood voting. If there are a long series of Tory majorities at Westminster, votes for the SNP there will run up against the law of diminishing returns.

I don't think the analysis in the link you posted takes into account how massively England, especially the South of England, has moved to the right in the last decade. England, from everything I've seen, is a country where no one who starts voting Tory or UKIP ever goes back to supporting any party with humane values after that.
