Indeed, play the ball, not the woman.

Good post. What is the emotional argument for the Union though? Judging by the last ten years of elections, the rest of the UK are scared of the Scottish representatives being in any sort of power. (eg. 2015 using the idea of the SNP pulling the strings helped Cameron, coalition of chaos etc)

With that in mind, it doesn't surprise me that they might want to go alone, if the RUK aren't willing to countenance their reps having parliamentary power.

If there is that mentality in Wales, then isn't the onus on the Welsh Tories to change and persuade the Welsh electorate that they should be given a chance?

Yes, I think the Conservatives are most likely to be the one chosen, but their brand is tainted in Scotland, so I can't help but feel like the LD/Lab vote is more sticky there, as viable alternatives to both the SNP and Tories.

Unify around which party though? Unless the three main unionist parties coalesce, how does that happen?

Indeed, nothing to fear from the Conservatives' POV. Possibly the best outcome in 2024 would be a small reduction in the majority (to say 40-50) that keeps Starmer in the job until 2029, so he can lose again.

Deeply unimpressive.

Re: leveling up. Would you advocate the London/South East Region to continue to be greatly ahead of the rest of the country in terms of production, house prices etc? I'm genuinely curious when it comes to the Thatcherite viewpoint in 2020.

So? If someone aged 60 dies next year its not like they haven't had dozens of Christmases to enjoy before this one aborted one.

It's just one holiday that people are being asked to cancel. Just one, one that comes round every year. It's really not the end of the world.

Industry/manufacturing? We're seeing the problems of a service economy.
