Don't particularly like Gove or May, but I didn't Cameron either and voted for him as he was the best choice. May is the best choice. The best thing that could probably happen right now is for May to take over and for Hilary Benn to become leader of the Labour party. Currently there is only a right vote in England, the Scots and Welsh have an easier alternative, nationalist choice.
Why is it that it is assumed that Scottish people should vote for the SNP and be nationalistic?
All the SNP are interested in is independence and I would rather they concentrate on running the country in the interests of the whole country not just the 45% minority that voted for them. I am glad that the Conservatives become a second force in Scotland (albeit very marginally) as at least there is a party trying to challenge them. It isn't healthy for one party to have so much power regardless of who it is.
The SNP have done a fantastic job at marketing where anything that goes wrong is Westminster's fault and nobody picks up on their numerous failings. At the last general election you genuinely could have taken anyone off the street made them run as an MP and they would win, when you look at some of who were elected it almost seems like it.
I stand by that independence for Scotland would be a bad idea (oil price well under half the value that was predicted at the last referendum / we can't control our currency / we may not be in the EU anyway). It annoys me that just because we voted to remain in EU we should leave the UK, and find it ironic that the same people who want the security of something bigger like the EU want out the UK, and similarly say that they don't like London making some laws for us but want the EU to.
