Looking at the election map

The Conservatives really, really should be taking an interest in The West Lothian Question.  And the other parties should be staggeringly interested in PR.

Because England is resoundingly Tory when it comes to seats, but not when it comes to votes.

They are interested in the West Lothian question. Strangely they don't seem to be as interested in the same as it applies to Welsh and Northern Ireland MPs also voting on 'English' matters.

If the Conservatives were more pragmatic and less ideological about the Union (i.e. of Scotland / England) then they could declare Scotland independent, whilst perhaps also declaring oil revenue English, and ensure their permanent rule in England.

I have strong emotional responses about NI voting but no intellectual words to define it =
