@themajorityscot @LiamKerrMSP If you continually insist that Scottish voters ignore national, British-level issues and reduce every election in Scotland to a tactical voting wheel revolving around the SNP, this is what happens.

John 'Gus' Ferguson is standing for the British Unionist Party in Motherwell, Wishaw & Carluke constituency on Thursday 4th July.

Good luck to our candidate John Jo Leckie, who is contesting Airdrie & Shotts constituency on Thursday 4th July.

John Jo has already succeeded at the polls, after being elected as a councillor for Fortissat Ward (Harthill & Shotts) at the previous Scottish local elections.

Britain is a unitary state and one nation.

Neither the Tories, who’ve made a pig’s ear of it, nor wish-washy Labour have credible plans to stop the boats. Indeed, Labour’s proposals will likely lead to an even greater flow of illegal migrants...

We would disagree on this, naturally. In fact, there's a much stronger case we should be very cautious about using the acronym "UK", which was never used prior to the second half of the last century, prior to which "Britain" was the dominant term used for our nation in formal and informal contexts; less commonly "United Kingdom" was also used.

For example, if you look at globes made prior to the 60s, British overseas territories are marked (Br.), not (U.K.) as has become the norm.

"UK" was pushed by nationalists and pro-devo federalists from the 60s onwards, eventually becoming the preferred term during the Blair era, because it fitted his 'federal' understanding of Britain.

Below is a Google Ngram search based on a vast corpus of books from 1800 to today:

.@Marky__Richards Generally this is true. The modern 'right' are economically, morally and socially liberal. People think they are conservative because they are so keen on money. This is a misunderstanding.

@LairdSummerisle Supranational organisations like the EU erode the nation state from above, devolution erodes the nation state from below. It's like a pincer movement; many can intuit this, hence why Scottish nationalists tend to be so pro-EU.

Are you aware of Labour's plans for the constitution? They're going to push the biggest roll out of powers to the devolved assemblies since Blair himself and formalise an essentially federal constitution that will leave the Union hanging by a constitutional thread.

Labour right now are the chief threat to the Union and the basic constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom. At the upcoming General Election, Labour would be the smart tactical vote for an 'independence' supporter, not a unionist.

@thecoastguy Keep up the good work @thecoastguy

@themajorityscot @subaeternetatis @Effiedeans Unfortunately, the Lib-Lab-Con also buy into this federal, EU-style concept of the United Kingdom as a 'family of nations', hence their support for devolution.

The Unions of 1707 and 1801 were incorporating unions. In both instances, two became one.

This is a self-inflicted and ultimately destructive addiction. We must quickly come to our senses! 🤯

We are already almost at the point of no return.

@themajorityscot The only people who seem to think we need more politicians are... politicians.
