As you can see even in Tory Landslide years of 83 & 87 Scotland & Wales much preferred to have Labour in control than the Conservatives. Yet in 2010 and 1992 England would have preferred a Conservative government to the coalition which we have today or all the problems Major had from 92 to 97 How different things would have been for him with a 114 majority than a ever dwindling 21.
In some respects it shows the problems of being a small cog in a much bigger machine. For all those who are in favour of Europe I think this just shows that there can be times when you don't get what your nation wants. Scotland and Wales could say they suffered for years with a Conservative led UK Parliament which they didn't want or vote for.
I just thought I would put this out there.
What are your thoughts?
