A party the wants to break up the Union might be the kingmaker. This party can cause as much trouble as the Irish Free Staters did for the Liberals during the late Victorian era.

From Wikipedia:

The SNP's policy base is mostly in the mainstream European social democratic tradition. Among its policies are commitments to same-sex marriage, reducing the voting age to 16, unilateral nuclear disarmament, progressive personal taxation, the eradication of poverty, the building of affordable social housing, free higher education, opposition to the building of new nuclear power plants, investment in renewable energy, the abolition of Air Passenger Duty, and a pay increase for nurses.

Just what the world needs, more socialists...

In William Wallace’s time, the Scots fought for freedom and self-determination. Nowadays, they’re more interested in free stuff and self-gratification.

Kind of sad, really...

This is gong to be the biggest clusterfrick in U.K. history.

From global imperial superpower to this in 100 years.

That’s the comparison I was going to make. The Irish free staters with Parnell, et alia played merry hell with late Victorian parliamentary politics.

When it comes to poll paper I prefer Northern over Charmin.

The SNP is thought to be the most authoritarian party in the UK.
