Do you think the political affiliation outweighs the argument. Bearing in mind that this is only for those things which have been devolved to the Scottish Executive.
What i DO object to, is when they vote to support the Government for something in England, which has already been rejected in Scotland or vis-versa.
I support some of the things that the Scottish Executive have done which goes against what the Labour Government wants.
Example:
Mr. Blair was only able to drive up university top-up fees through the House of Commons because of the votes of MPs from Scotland. Those top-up fees applied to England, not Scotland. Yet Scottish Students dont pay a Contribution to their Fees if they study in Scotland..... so voting to bring the Fees into play in England was Hypocracy of the worst kind by those Scottish MPs.
