The rhetoric from some on the BBC's Question Time program last night in response to the question of would the SNP be a "catastrophe" if they held the balance of power at Westminster was appalling. They were basically suggesting that SNP voters are not part of the UK.
But in the independence referendum last year, Scotland voted NO to leaving the UK and therefore all Scottish people have a right to be recognized as UK citizens. That also means recognizing that a Scottish vote is just as worthy as a vote made anywhere else in the UK.
Not all of us wanted to remain a part of the UK but it looks like we're stuck in this system. All those proud Unionists should be really proud that the Scots are now super-excitedly taking part in the greatest regular advert for the Union - the general election.
I certainly know I'm looking forward to polling day. May Westminster smile proudly as I vote to hold their feet to the fire...
Yes - unfortunately still part of the UK (though even on a Yes vote Scotland would have been in the UK till 2016). However the 'United Kingdom' looks anything but 'united' at this moment!
ReplyDeleteLol, yeah that's true! Ununited Kingdom would be a better name.
