It will be appalling if the europhile Scottish so-called Nationalists get in - even as a minority administration on the Scottish Executive.

I agree, those who support an English Parlaiment should not be throwing their weight behind europhile partys just because they also fuel nationalism.

The future of the Union is not on the agenda at the moment, it may be in the future but what is inportant is getting a fair deal for England.

I agree totally. The Scottish so-called Nationalists (SNP) - apart from deliberately seeking to break up the UK - are (like the Scottish Liberal Dims) - the political arm of the EU in Scotland. We also have to think of the people of Scotland - stuck with the SNP leader Salmond for at least four long years. What an awful prospect.

And obviously I agree again - as will all those on the side of England. 8)
