Except it doesn't. There are still far more Scots who want to remain within the UK than want to sign up for Salmonds fairytale plans for independence.
I should point out (and I've posted this link before) that Scotland isn't the best funded part of the UK by a long shot.

Re: [Update] The Liberal-Conservative Coalition
Could members who want to discuss the implications of the new government for the Union, please go and start a new thread in order to discuss it - we are getting off-topic here.

Re: [Update] The Liberal-Conservative Coalition
I voted "oh no" but Ive changed my mind to hooray. A change was needed and its better than a minority. The interview NC and DC did together on TV was quite funny when questioned over making comments about each other, if that would have been Clegg and Brown it would have resulted in awkwardness rather than making a joke of it. Lets hope it works out

Re: [Update] The Liberal-Conservative Coalition
I believe (assuming severe dyslexia) he said
"I'm glad I didn't vote LibDem, or should I say ConDem, and I never will again. I used to when I was young. The LD party are a joke.
PS Labour, UKIP, and the Greens will have a field day with ths one."
Sorry if I got it wrong though.

Re: [Update] The Liberal-Conservative Coalition
we need to wait and see how all this pans out. I am sure they will do a good job but still not please everyone. Much the same as labour.

Re: [Update] The Liberal-Conservative Coalition
So any news on the 2.5% VAT hike (will become 20%) the news was talking about this morning?

Expected later this year, along with a 1% increase in employee's NIC. The increased NIC is needed to pay for the increased income tax threshold.
In the mean time, Cabinet members take a 5% pay cut and have their salaries frozen for 5 years.

Re: [Update] The Liberal-Conservative Coalition
So if this does happen, all those who voted for the current govenment CANNOT complain about it.

I don't think the tax threshold affects the lower earnings limit for national insurance.
