Really? At General Elections Scotland tends to vote dramatically in favour of parties that do redistribution, far more than the rest of the UK



The people who were up in arms about it lose heavily in the elections however given that they are generally unionists they are given extremely generous coverage by our media who are are almost entirely pro union.

I also got one of these in Scotland and found it very reassuring and helpful, you could see almost all the other children around were using the same clothes / toys etc.


Based on the 2019 GE results, most vote for pro unionist parties, and of those most vote for redistributive parties of some extent (Lab + Lib Dem)
