      😂 I'm not claiming it does- you are. Your constitutional position means you endorse other parties associated w that parliament.

      participation is parliament is not government, Tories are government, your party chose that option

      ahh. So you're just endorsing governments. If we become Indy and the first party to win is Tories, you're endorsing them then?

      as a person who believes in democracy, then yes, I'd be bound to. I wouldn't support them not vote for them in any way.

      but you'd judge that lowering the minimum wage was "acceptable for Scotland" if they decided?

      I don't find it acceptable and neither do the people of Scotland. It's mandates we are talking, your party gave a mandate to Tories

      no. The voting public of the UK gave a mandate to the Tories. I thought you were a person who believes in democracy?

          Scotland as a nation rebuked, am I wrong? You obviously don't believe in the family of nations concept

          Scotland as a nation voted to "endorse a Tory government" 55% to 45% according to you.

          a uk with the EU, that's no longer available. Plus you had to scare the shite out of people to do it.

          I think we've now roundly demolished the claim the indyref was any endorsement of any political party. As you were.

          hypothetical arguments you like, the reality doesn't match. Labour fucked up big time. Cheers for that

          or, what's really happening is you're a nationalist and you can only see everything through that prism until it trips you up.
