For the first time in generations, there is a serious possibility that there will be no Scottish MPs in the party of government. Three days ago Alex Salmond told the Scottish people that “Scotland stands on the brink of unparalleled influence at Westminster.”
In fact the opposite is true. Scotland stands on the brink of having zero MPs in government and negligible influence at Westminster. If there are no Scottish MPS from the Conservative, Liberal Democrat or Labour parties, there will be no Scottish MPs in government.
To put that in context, since the turn of the twentieth century there have been thirteen English Prime Ministers, seven Scottish and one Welsh. That’s counting Cameron and MacMillan as English.
The current government has twelve MPs representing Scottish constituencies and two in the Cabinet. It is unheard of for there to be no Scottish MPs in the Cabinet. Though hard to believe, if Scotland returns a full sweep of SNP MPs, the Secretary of State for Scotland will be from an English or Welsh constituency.
Nor will there be another Scottish referendum. Salmond and Sturgeon have ruled it out in this parliament and it would be unlikely any government without a single Scottish voice would be likely to call one. Salmond’s words were half right, Scotland really does stand on the brink.

Scots people governing us from London as part of a British government with all its rotten, corrupt and frequently undemocratic institutions is supposed to convince us that we are better together?
When scots totally embrace the philosophy of their political masters then of course they will progress through the ranks. The more slavishly subservient they are the faster they progress. When they prove themselves willing subjects they are awarded all the glittering prizes. They are not rewarded for bringing the values deemed to be honourable in Scotland but for demonstrating to the scots how to behave if they wish to “get on” Jimmy Reid described it in his rectorial address to Glasgow university students. He said” the rat race is for rats”
