UK politics if Scotland votes Yes
Discussion
This whole business about the Midlothian question, Scottish labour etc etc, confuses me a bit.
Perhaps someone with a better grasp of politics can answer this for me.
If Scotland votes Yes, what does this do to the balance of power in the UK?
I know that the electoral breakdown of the boundaries for each seat, effectively favours Labour. Of course the Lid Dems rather famously scuppered an attempt to redraw the map to even things out.
But if the Scots go, what does that do to the balance in parliament?
Does it increase the chances of the Tories getting a majority? Or does it favour Labour, or maybe make another coalition even more likely?
