Ron,
that's stating the bleedin' obvious. That's like saying the majority of English people don't like Labour, or the Tories, but under the FPTP electoral system have to put up with a Government they didn't elect. Far better with a proportional system, some say. But wait, isn't that exactly what we have in the Scottish Parliament. And who was elected into government there in 2011 by an absolute majority, breaking a system that was specifically designed to ensure no single party could achieve an overall majority?.....
In truth, TOFO in Post #58 above hit the nail on the head when he said;-
"The vote is predominantly ordered around age demographics. (my emphasis). Every morning I sat in the gym sauna and listened to 40 plus Scots ranting about wee eck. Every day I went to work and listened to 20 plus Scots ranting about Captain Darling."
I can't improve on that.
