The point I keep making is that the English don't think of Scotland as part of their own country.
The English have stopped talking about anyone but England. They call it "Britain" but that's just a habit of speech.

What's pretty clear to me is that the English have already rejected the United Kingdom. They don't seem conscious of it yet because their language habits are still the same.
"Britain" seems to be more of a habit of language.
When they talk about "the working class vote" they're not talking about Scotland, they're talking about England.

This argument between Tories and Labour and what species of politics it is that they're fighting over, all of this is entirely confined to England.
Scotland votes SNP and pretty much given up on Labour and Tories

There is a whole nation within the United Kingdom that has completely discarded both Labour and Conservative parties.
And the English are completely oblivious to it.
