Entry: Which Scots conservatism: unionist or nationalist? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/which_scots_conservatism_unionist_or_nationalist#26865 Post contents: Robert: "The SNP is not, repeat not, officially socialist" Hm, would you prefer "social democrat" or just "left wing"? Scots don't want independence because (a) England massively subsidises Scotland through the Barnett Formula and (b) Scots currently rule the UK via the Labour Party. Which is nice for my aged parents, living in Scotland - even moreso as First Minister Alex Salmond is their MSP. Not so nice for me in London. I was born in Scotland and I'm not English but I'm pretty damn sick of the Scots taking English money while boiling with anti-English hatred and moaning about how oppressed they are while running the country.
