Its strange that there’s hardly a mention on this site that SNP MPs routinely abstain from voting on devolved issues at Westminster.

I suppose we have give Mr Cameron the benefit of the doubt on this issue since his over-riding need is to get additional seats in Scotland for the Tories and secure the Union. Obviously the needs of England are a lower down on his list of priorities.
However I do wonder about his tendency to play to the audience and also his Scottish ancestry.

I have long maintained that those who placed their faith in a Tory Government to correct the anomalous position of England would inevitably be let down. The Tories are quintessentially Unionist in outlook and inclination and these characteristics have been reinforced under the leadership of a man who feels that he is primarily Scottish. Where do English Nationalists now look for political support?

If this is correct, it just confirms what I and many of my friends and family have been saying for a long time, he changes his views to suit his audience!

I really do despair if this is the best that the Tories can elect as leader to go face to face with the great un-elected Gordon Brown!

And they wonder why so many don’t bother to vote!

“In his keynote conference speech, Mr Cameron admitted there were big differences between himself and Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, who is moving ahead with plans for an independence referendum.”

“We must repair the relationship between the British government and the Scottish government,” he said.

Mr Cameron told members of the Tory Party faithful that one of the first things he would do, if elected, would be to come to Scotland and meet Mr Salmond.

And he pledged to supporters in Perth to cut the “democratic deficit”, not just the budget one.”

Mr Cameron also said he took seriously the recommendations of the Calman Commission – which called for more powers for the Scottish Parliament – and said he wanted to make devolution stronger

BBC -David Cameron promises ‘radical reform’.

I don’t know how much of this I can take anymore, the injustices and frustration is nausiating.
