Why Are The Snp At Westminster?

[davebro]

Their aim is to break up the UK, frustrate Brexit. Why the heck are they allowed to sit in the mother of parliaments. They should be denounced as traitors!

[ToraToraTora]

they are UK MPs.

Unfortunately for you Dave, they are currently part of the UK political system. You can't just remove any political party who don't agree with you.

"Unfortunately for you Dave, they are currently part of the UK political system. You can't just remove any political party who don't agree with you."

I DO agree with them - Scotland should be independent if that's what they want - but they shouldn't hold sway over rUK.

'They' don't want, Dave.

[ToraToraTora]

these are westminster MPs not MSPs

[Mozz71]

As it stands, they ARE still part of the UK. Perhaps a democracy isn't for you mate?

[davebro]

"Perhaps a democracy isn't for you mate?"

Agreed - a benign despotism would be preferable!

[davebro]

As Bhutan?

[davebro]

"'They' don't want, Dave."

In that case why do they vote them in in Edinburgh?

[douglas9401]

It was a reply to your independence point, dave, it's been rejected whenever the question's been asked.

The rest is as much of a mystery to me as to you.

[Old_Geezer]

Any party that is just interested in one part of the UK and blow the rest is a dodgy party. But sufficient folk vote for them. That's all it needs.

[THECORBYLOON]

DAVEBRO, other parties are allowed to stand in General Elections in Scotland. The winning candidates then sit in Westminster. Does that help?

[davebro]

The Scots are a bunch of cowards! They vote in the SNP at home but vote against independence from the UK. They want to have their cake and eat it. I despise them.

[royfromaus]

That's not very sweeping at all, is it.

[THECORBYLOON]

DAVEBRO, is it the SNP or Scots in general you despise? Mind it's not only Scots voting in Scotland.

[davebro]

"That's not very sweeping at all, is it."

Sweeping - but true!

[davebro]

"DAVEBRO, is it the SNP or Scots in general you despise? Mind it's not only Scots voting in Scotland."

Scots who vote for the SNP but against Independence.

[retrocop]

Lol davebro
If the Scots get a second stab at a referendum to leave us awful English I have no doubt who you will be voting for to depart the Union.
:-)

[THECORBYLOON]

Maybe a lot of non-Scots voted against independence?

[retrocop]

My late Scottish FIL wasn't allowed to register his vote because he practised in England. A Polish chambermaid in a hotel in Glasgow got that opportunity to vote albeit she was resident and worked in the UK for a couple of months. She obviously realised where her bread was buttered. Ginqueer you English taxpayers. :-(
