Yes I agree we used to have several "safe" seats in Scotland before there was so much anti English feeling.

I think you misunderstand. It is not a refusal to vote because people are anti-English, it is because the Conservative Party is seen as not caring about Scotland.

An Englishman faces no more bad feeling in Scotland than a Scotsman would get in England.

Sorry I was not making myself clear either. I believe it is 2 fold one that there is anti English feeling in Scotland especially amongst the more left wing elements and therefore a certain group would not vote for a party that is seen to personify everything English.

I do also though agree with you that the Conservatives are seen to be the Party that does not care about Scotland which IMHO started when it became obvious that Scotland was turning more left wing and that because at the time the English majority was so great for the Conservatives they possibly did treated Scotland as irrelevant so it became a self fulfilling prophesy.

Tbat is my take on it and personally I cannot see any hope of us re-taking Scotland we have IMHO disenfranchised the majority of Scots when our majority was so great in England.
