DA

You need to re-read that post before you go off half-cocked and offended and spouting the X word.

The Tories, like the GOP in the US, have built a platform on thinly-veiled xenophobia (as opposed to the open xenophobia of UKIP and especially Britain First.) Their biggest supporters are those in the middle part of England who typically oppose Scottish enfranchisement. The Tories' xenophobic rhetoric, which they are now expected to cash in on and are wholly unprepared to go the distance for (because they're not UKIP/BF and have some small tattered shreds of a soul within them) has been a dog-whistle for keeping the Scots out alongside the brown people.

To be specific, the week running up to the last general election when it looked like it would be a Labour/SNP coalition, the Tories released a campaign poster in England saying that voting Conservative would ensure Scots were kept out of government. Not the SNP, although that would be bad enough since at the time the SNP looked like it would be only two seats shy of a totality of the Scottish seats instead of a feeble three seat shy, but the Scots themselves. Now, they probably did mean just the SNP and were cackhanded about it, but the way they framed it made it seem like Scotland was a colony of England and not an equal partner in a union as is the constitutional case (note: although it is widely said that the UK has an "unwritten" constitution, it would be more accurate to say that it has multiple constitutional documents which are applicable at different times in varying circumstances. The Act of Union is the bedrock of them though).

Their subsequent actions in power have not dispelled this notion though. I suspect that the next referendum in Scotland (which many political commentators put as close as only ten years away, and no more than thirty at most) will be a lot closer than the last and mostly because of this government's political tone deafness.
