Imagine if both main parties get decimated by MPs quitting to such an extent that the SNP becomes the largest party in Parliament and they then form a government.

There exists 18 year old adults, who can drink, vote and marry, with no idea who The Spice Girls were, because the group broke up a year before they were born.
