What on earth are you dribbling about? I've been arguing for PR since before I could vote.
Yes, because the alternative is worse.

I love that george galloway is just looking on in disgust
Not enjoying the respect he's been given.
Its not dribbling, most voters are morons, those people don't care about the system unless the Sun or Guardian tell them.
Dingwall, lol.

Are we really arguing about the share of MPs Scotland gets?
What the hell is it with you lot. Whinge whinge Scotland this whinge whine.

You've just summed up the whole problem with the SNP right there. All they care about is Scotland and think of the rest of the UK as "you lot".

Thanet South haven't even started counting!

It's not like England ever cared too much about Scotland, is it? Gotta look out for our own if your parties won't.
Edit: And this is probably why the ideology is split so drastically. Will a union like this really work? I don't think so.

Why do you take everything as an attack on Scotland, we were attacking FPTP. We were talking about the fact that 56 MPs will represent 1.5 million people and therefore have 56 votes based on 1.5 million people. When UKIP may end up with 1 MP and yet 3.5 million people voted for them. Has nothing to do with scotland but the system itself. If you can't see the flaw in that then that's fine but you're blind.

A strong message from Scotland with the SNP clearing up. I wonder if the results are as predicted, the Conservatives being clear leaders is a message that England doesn't want any SNP influence over them, more than they don't want Labour outright?

Very used to typical English blatant attacking on the SNP/Salmond, so an oversight on my part.
The system is like that because without it, Scotland wouldn't have a say in anything, and there'd be literally no point to us voting at all. We might be a union, but we are two separate countries and should have a decent say.
The influence will be there regardless, if Conservatives deny things, the SNP keeps their powerbase very potent.
Its hilarious.

The US is a different beast, we have had 239 years to see how it went, i think we learned something.

Just out of interest who are you referring to when you say 'us'?
