The north of England, Scotland and Wales consistently vote Labour at General Elections but are often saddled with a Conservative government based on the larger number of votes cast for the Tories in the south of England.
Or, of course, the centre and south of England (and actually large parts of the north) are often saddled with a Labour Government based on the larger (questionable) number of votes cast for Labour in the inner cities and Scotland. Just for the cause of balance you understand.

I still think that if the Union is to be dissolved then all voters in the Union should get a vote. Would be intersting to see what the results would be if there was a vote on the EU right now. Would Scotland vote to stay but England vote to leave. What if the majority in the Union wanted to leave?
