@Doggycam - you don't have any tory MPs in Scotland - WTF are you moaning about?

Another change I'd like to see would be a requirement that a wannabe MP has a coal miner, steelworker, farm labourer, ship builder within two generations in his/her ancestry.

1. Very doubtful, no matter what party are in charge (Labour, Tory etc) it's more about who you are, where you went to school. It has been for a long time and I'm afraid it will remain that way for quite a while yet I'm sure.
2. Even less likely than your first point.
3. I'm assuming you are in no way religious? Christianity has always played a big part in this country and whether you like it or not that will continue. The suggestion of this I find ludicrous.
However, I appreciate that we are all entitled to our own views on such things.

Fair enough Johnny - Cameron has one MP to lose if he sticks two fingers up at Scotland, but he'd probably gain more than that in England from the "we hate the Jocks" types.

Come on Rob - we're all coming to terms with what the result means for all of the UK - asking for all those with a different view to you to bugger off is hardly helping heal wounds, neither is condescendingly referring to a broadly honourable, principled and dignified 44.7% of Scotland in such sneering tones. I'm glad that No won as, despite the fact that I'm convinced that Westminster will screw Scotland over, I think we're all probably better-off staying together - even for Scotland, I think being independent would have brought with it much greater hazards than it faces in the event of Cameron probably going-back on his pledge.

Chris I expect better from you. I'm not asking anyone to bugger off - my comments were light hearted - or so I thought they appeared to be. I object to your statement that I'm being condescending as well.
Actually you have pissed me off considerably more than any of the posts that you belatedly decided to give your opinion on.

UKRob said:So tell me - you as an individual - will you decide to find a better country to live in if the vote goes against your wishes?
