Gordon EF Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Yep the 56 do what the want against the 330 and 232 of the big parties, Too true, the Tories and Labour are complete diddies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Thanks for illustrating the democratic deficit so succinctly You are correct. It's not ideal that Scotland is over-represented in MP terms compared to our population share. Fortunately our cousins in the UK are good people and don't make a big issue of it. Thanks for pointing that out though. Decent of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top trolling as per HB (Not really, you're a dribbling simpleton). You know full well I'm referring to the fact that even if 95% of Scotland's representatives at Westminster agree, they can still be overruled by the remainder of the UK's on matters that actually only have an effect on Scotland.

Wee Bully Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 The SNP didn't vote on the Fox hunting though? People keep missing this point. The SNP didn't vote on an English only matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, who would have thought that MPs representing far less than 10% of the population could be outvoted by the remainder of Parliament? Amazing really?

Def can't see them getting away with "aha didnae actual vote on this 1-0" anyway That is without doubt the most cringey aspect of this whole affair. I'd have more respect for the clown contingent if they just played the "f**k it, not bothered if they went back on their word" card. This "nuh huh. but they didn't cos" line is way way beyond pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I must have missed the push for Yorkshire Votes for Yorkshire Laws. Can you link to it? There was a referendum last year on whether our region wished to secede from the UK and this Parliamentary system. I can give you a link as to how that went if you like?

Bishop Briggs Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I must have missed the push for Yorkshire Votes for Yorkshire Laws. Can you link to it? English voters are against regional devolution. John Prescott, when Deputy PM, proposed regional assemblies for the North East, North West and Yorkshire & The Humber in 2004. The regional boundaries were the same as those for European elections. 4 out of 5 voted No (turnout about 50%) in the North East referendum. Prescott postponed and then dropped the plans for referenda in the North West and Yorkshire. It was clear that he would lose again. You can find more information via search engines.
