Federal can mean a lot of things. It's likely that some form of English parliament, with fiscal autonomy for Scotland is what the Tories would prefer.

I'd prefer the Lab-version, where England is cut up into regions which all have similar populations to Scotland & Wales, so that a proportional federation is formed.

That's the big question.

The SNP routing of Scotland means a Federal UK is on the cards. Something has to be done in that regard.

how do labour plan to win without the support from scotland unless things change drastically w/ the economy/england
deletedover 9 years
Zero. But Scottish Labour might break off from Labour into a separate left wing Unionist party.

It's more likely that Scottish Labour, Scottish Tories and Scottish Lib Dems merge than SNP do with any of them. There's no benefit to the SNP in merging with the people they beat.
over 9 years
if it continues to be this way, what are the chances that labour/snp will merge in the future

UKIP have gained a total of one (1) seats this year. that's an ∞% increase compared to 2010

Labour aren't doing well enough in England, that's why. Mathematically it's not possible.

according to kerry's facebook, or the people showing up on it, scotland are to blame for this conundrum. frankly, i find that hilarious

why won't labour/SNP get in? wasn't that rumoured/gossiped to be their intent?
deletedover 9 years
There's no way Labour/SNP will get in. It's likely a Tory minority government, or a Tory/DUP coalition. Horrific. The Tories will go into civil war over Europe and be held to ransom by the eurosceptics.


Looking at 2020, Kerry. Looks like Labour are getting crushed in Brighton too. Might have a vacancy.
