    Except we do don't we. One person gets ultimate power as proven by so many people being sacked and appointed as soon as the person at the top changes. You know as well as I do that people vote, in part (a large part) on the basis of the leader and manifssto

    It's a very important book to a lot of people, it may not be to you and that's your right but that doesn't make you superior to people who do tread a more evangelical path. Marriage is a religious ceremony so of course people may object on religious grounds. It does not make them homophobic.

    Sorry if this is a "Big Thing" for you.

    Can't follow your pattern of post.

    Hope you get the Mniister you deserve.

    It might make it easier for you to get independence if you pay back the sum plus interest of the amount England had to bail out Scotland after your Darian expeditions. I believe the figure to be in excess of £900 billion.

    Do you accept that he voted how I said he did yet?

    Seriously? Did your ballot paper say Cameron or Milliband? No, you voted for your local MP who represents their constituents in parliament if successful. The party with the most MPs forms a government - that's the way it works.

    I can see there may be an argument to dissolve parliament but the fixed term parliament act means that the government has every right to stay in power for five years. There isn't going to be a general election before 2020.

    Out of interest What is your opinion on Jeremy Corbyn? Do you agree with many that he is unelectable?

    I still can't understand why anyone would vote for the ability for someone to get "married" here, but not abroad.

    But if he objected to the term "marriage" applied to a same sex union, then I understand him.

    But not if he was denying equal rights.

    You do know I never claimed that he voted for gay marriage in England don't you?

    He voted against gay marriage here. Against gay marriage for armed forces abroad (which is a separate thing), against the sexual orientation equal rights regulations and against many other gay rights acts

    So your objection is that he, like me, sought to resist the term " marriage" applied to same sex unions?

    You could have saved me a lot of time.

    No ta. I'd be perfectly happy if there was a general election and Theresa Mays conservatives got 99% of the votes.

    I think he's a soapbox backbench protest MP with Marxist principles and yes I think he's unelectable. And if your argument is going in the direction I think it is then my answer is no I wouldn't be calling for a general election if the same thing happened in the Labour party and they were in office.

    I don't remember a chaotic clamour for a general election when Brown took over from Blair.

    Nae chance of anything getting paid back.
    But looking good ATM for another Inde Referendum. Theresa is certainly making an even bigger mess of things as this thread is proving.
    Interesting that within 24 hours of taking over the first thing she thought she had to do was make a visit to Edinburgh and start to grovel and beg Nicola not to try and leave. I do believe she failed here.

    No that isn't what my objection was. Did three quarters of my post not load? You appear to have not seen it

    That isn't the direction my argument was going in. My point was that you have just admitted that people vote largely based on the leader of the pattern regardless of what technically is written on the ballot paper

    By the way, there should have been one when brown took over too

    You won't agree but Nicola Sturgeon has all the creditability needed.
