Scotland did its part to keep the Tories out:

I was stationed there twice in the 80s and 90s while I was in the Navy and those folks HATE the Tories. They don't like England that much full stop but they REALLY hate Tories. Good for them. Hopefully one day soon the SNP can help them gain full independence.

I remember when I was traveling in the U.K., I acquired a 5-Pound note printed by the Bank Of Scotland. It was pretty cool. I should have saved it as a souvenir.

scrapbooks of memories.

Aberdeen. FREEEDDDOMMMMM redux.

night to find out that basically only England votes Tory.

Blue areas being where the most people live. 65 million in England, 5 million in Scotland. We're always outnumbered by dipshits.

Evidently, she truly does vote 'Labour'.

Susan Boyle cast her vote in the UK General Election today for the Labour Party. It is not a surprise as she lives in an area of Scotland steeped in the socialist workers struggle against the bosses.

She proudly wore a red scarf to show her allegiance to the Labour Party, whose colours are of course the red of Socialism and Communism.

However, many of her fanatical followers believe that the red scarf is their invention. They are unwilling to believe that their heroine could be a Socialist, that being the nastiest word they know in their part of the world.

Scotland is a Socialist country. The fansite have even sent a member to Susan's house to dissuade her from voting Labour it is reported. Miss Boyle went along with the fan's guidance but gave a knowing wink to our reporter after the fan had left her house.

"I'm not so silly," the singer is reported to have said, " They think I'm easy to talk round but I'll only ever vote Labour. All my family do and I will as well. My father would turn in his grave if I voted for any other political party."

Meanwhile Gordon Brown, sits at home, biting his fingernails awaiting his fate.

I suppose as close to an English teabagger as you can get. They live in council homes, get their stipend from the government etc...but just hate those immigrants because THEY'RE moochers. My husband says they don't want anyone horning in on their scams.

represent? Are the green Greens, and what about the yellow and tan?

Dark Green is Plaid Cymru (Wales)

Middle Green is Green

Light Green is Social Democratic & Labour Party

Lib Dems are Orange

Scots are gold

Alliance is yellow

Why is Plaid Cymru dark green? Shouldn't they be plaid?

I can, however, see Susan Boyle wearing them.

:mad:

Ireland. I've always loved that Scottish brogue.:P Oh yeah, and The Proclaimers!~

The Tories have one seat there and that's how it's been for awhile now.
