She isn't a Westminster politician.

However it may be beneficial if everyone in the UK had a referendum vote
for Scottish independence to increase the chance that we could get rid
of Nicola Sturgeon from Westminster.

Westminster?

Your knowledge of current affairs is rather poor, to say the least.

Indeed. She has never been an MP.

Don't be daft, the outcome was never in doubt because Corbin is so 'nice'
and not at all decisive. He is the sort of guy who, if he was shot in the
leg would give the guy another chance before shooting him, in case it was
an
accident.

The manifesto was like some kind of fairy tale and I suspect the party
knew
these things.
However what I do think is that some kind of proportional representation
is
needed in this country to make the vote numbers correlate with the number
of
mps elected of a given view.


I agree with that but how do you resolve the argument this would break
the link between the constituency and its MP


PE doesn't have to have multi MP constituencies. Many PR systems don't.

or as in Scotland where
list MSPs are sometimes seen as second class compared with
constituency MSPs.

I wonder if Labour will demand a second General Election, because so
many voted for the wrong party yesterday?

Just supposing indyref2 did take place and Scotland voted to leave the
UK, would a Westminster election be needed in the rest of the UK as
this would then be a new parliament?

Shetland might decide to go it alone if Scotland left. They have
ALL the oil :-).


Well, do they because of the strange way in which sea areas are
defined? AIUI there is some methodology whereby the land border is
extended in the same direction into the sea. I have seen a map
showing that much of 'Scotland's oil' would be in the English sector.


That was done deliberately, flagrantly dishonestly.
