@innes_abby @Sime0nStylites @APHClarkson @hypermodel @EuanTaylor4 @iaindocherty Labour is still pretending under Gordon Brown that this isn't a constitutional crisis - just business as usual and strategic use of a 'majority' - not sure they have done the work

They are all over the shop on constitutional questions

@innes_abby @Sime0nStylites @APHClarkson @hypermodel @EuanTaylor4 @iaindocherty Scotland was spared after 2014 when a disastrous 56 out of 59 seats at Westminster was ameliorated by it being the wrong/wee parliament - 121 out of 129 MSPs would have been catastrophic

Interesting lacunae - the GLC was abolished along with South Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Greater Newcastle etc, etc but only the GLC was restored - hard to explain British/English politics without mentioning the rest
