EVERYBODY knows the London media just don’t get Scotland. Every so often, something happens north of the border (usually an election or a referendum) which means that they need to start PAYING ATTENTION. Wait a minute, could this be the end of the Union? Have Salmond and Sturgeon fallen out?? Why don’t the Scots like Boris??? The Westminster press pack s knowledge of Scottish politics – and particularly the driving forces behind the movement for independence – is already pretty much non-existent. But their understanding of Scotland’s electoral system is even worse. Scotland s voters look set to have delivered a comfortable pro-Yes majority – with the SNP (possibly) just falling short on their own, but a substantial number a Greens (whose votes do count, by the way) also want a referendum.
