SNP Prepare to leave for London

The SNP see themselves as possible king makers in the hung Parliament. Their six MPs head to London with, they say, a mandate to work for the Scottish People. They're already in talks with senior civil servants about how the new arrangements will work. Their leaders issued a statement outside the Scottish Parliament today.

The right to the ownership of Scotland is with the Scottish people, not the British, English or anyone else! Now is the time to assert that right! The control of Scottish affairs and destinies should be with the Scottish people, and not with any foreign government! An independent Scotland would guarantee civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities for all Scots! It is now time for us all to proclaim our rights and regain our national freedom, sovereignty and our place in the world!

Lmao i bet they all feel a bit stupid now pretending to hold the balance of power when in reality they never were going to be able to hold the UK parliament hostage in the way they wanted.

National Coalition Government = 12 Scottish seats - 878,000 Scottish votes

Scottish Separatists = 6 Scottish seats - 491,000 Scottish votes

Total share of the unionist vote in Scotland at the 2010 General Election = Over 75%

Long live the union!

For the love of God, keep the Tories out!
