Many Scots would be voting to get the Tories out, rather than to choose between SNP and Labour, i.e. their tactical choices would be different. (Maybe less so if AV was brought in.)<br /><br />I can see that this would be far from ideal for many Scots but the system we have seems pretty convoluted too.

It would mean fewer levels of government to once more get rid of the ability of Scots to run their own affairs of course.<br /><br />No need for people to run their own business. Silly idea.
