"Thatcher taught Scotland to loathe the Conservative Party"
Strange however, that so many of our folk including my mother and sister took advantage of the right to buy that she introduced. Perhaps we are all just hypocrites.
As for the Governance issue, the UK bar Scotland didn't vote for Labour in 1964 or 1974 but got it. The shambles of the 1974 to 1979 Labour Government was a prime reason why the Mrs T came to power. Thats the trouble with Democracy, you don't always get the result you hope for.
