Still not answered why tory and labour can't be pro-scotland
There is a big difference between pro Scotland and Scotland first.

I have no idea what Scotland First is meant to mean.

Very happy to discuss seriously a federal approach to the way the United Kingdom operates. It's either that or scrapping Holyrood IMHO. For some astonishing reason, I have 12 different elective representatives between MP, MSPs and Local Councillors. Unsurprisingly I have met none of them.

It means Scotland is the first priority of the party.

Except when the party is the SNP of course, troughing as much money as they can then becomes first priority. The spin doctors will refute that persistently day after day but will only convince the seriously deluded. Any spin doctors on here are wasting their time.

So it's an unsubtle pejorative attempt to infer that representatives elected for any party which might have ties to parties elsewhere in the United Kingdom, might have subversive priorities against those of their constituents.

Pathetic.

Is that not similar to https://www.britainfirst.org/party ? Is that what you want Scotland to be like? I for one certainly don't want to live in that sort of place, I would much rather that politicians had a wider view of the whole of the UK, and Scotlands place in it and not just a narrow Scotland first view. I prefer that they are able to influence UK wide policies.

Who said anything about

Leaving the UK?

This little poem started

As an ode to the devine

Guy whose story is the SNP is a reluctant vote.

He would prefer to vote for a party with devolution max at its heart

But can’t rely Labour to deliver such a feat
