    First we had an empire, run by an emperor. Then we had a kingdom, led by a king.
     
    Now we've got a country.

    I'm willing to give them a chance, it's clear that Labours policies failed.  All they were good at was turning this country into an authoritarian nightmare, and apparently spending $3 for every $1 gained in tax.
    It's clear that Scotland and England want very different things, it's time to make that break.  English should not have to suffer Labour just because the Scottish like them, and vice versa.

    If they really, genuinely try to make a go of this, it could be one of the best governments we've had in decades.
