Not Today, Thankyou

I think it's a missed opportunity- a victory for play-it safe over suck-it and-see. But never mind, change is coming anyway.

I'm beginning to think you're determined to see the utter destruction of everything. Yes, I get you hate the Coalition, but the ref wasn't about giving them a bloody nose. And for what it's worth, for all your carping about the establishment, you've yet to come up with a solution that works.

I supported the creation of a Scottish parliament. I thought a sovereign parliament would serve that country better than rule from Westminster. As it happens we won't now discover if I was right or wrong.

I quite like the proposal for more devolution for the English regions. And- golly gosh- that's a Tory idea.

[ingenious76.livejournal.com]

Yeah, its amazing, but the Tories do have good ideas occasionally. Especially if it means that the English get more say over our own affairs.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

We're in agreement here.

[ingenious76.livejournal.com]

Well, that's a first. I know I'm a heartless Conservative who should probably kill herself according to the Left, but sometimes we do have good ideas.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Quite so.

For the record the only political party I've ever belonged to is The Greens- and I handed in my membership card after a year because they were so effing useless.

Don't even get me started on the Greens. The don't stand for anything - nor do the Lib Dems. I think the 3-way party has been killed. Its back to a 2-party system now.

Definitely a missed opportunity. If I were a Scotsman I would have not only voted for it, but would have been an activist ... and it takes a lot for me to be an activist.

I'm sure the issue isn't dead yet, though ...

I think we're in for a period of political ferment in Britain- and elsewhere.
