The Conservative Party

We absolutely shafted you lot and we’re giving Scotland more than they put in to the UK‘a coffers.

It’s not remotely the same thing.

But thanks for the spuds :)
Have you ever wondered why the U.K. needs to put more into Scotland than it gets out?

The simple answer is that it hasn’t had the infrastructure investment that it has needed to grow to become a net contributor. Nearly every other region of the U.K. is in the same boat because of disproportionate investment into London and the consequent brain drain from around the country to London where there are the best opportunities.

When Scotland has the freedom to do its own thing there’s no reason why ultimately it can’t be as successful as Ireland. It has a similar population and natural resources.

If only successive U.K. governments had spread the investment more fairly there may not have been the same push for independence in Scotland from so many of the population.
