Tories: Just An English Party

"On May 5 the British people will be electing 646 MPs. Of these, 529 will represent English seats. Of the 117 non-English seats, on current projections the Tories will be doing well to win 10 – that is well under 10%. Or, to look at it another way, given the desperate weakness of the Tories in Scotland and Wales, they will have to win more than 60% of the seats in England if they are to have any chance of gaining power in a UK election. That is a very stark disparity: 60%-plus in England, 10% or less in Scotland and Wales." - The Herald via Gareth, Campaign for an English Parliament.
