> an overwhelming majority in the recent election.
On 36.9% of votes cast through first past the post. In other words 63% of the country didn't vote for the Tories or their austerity policies (that said you can barely slip a fag paper between Tories, Labour and the LibDems policy-wise).
In Scotland the story was quite different. The SNP romped home with 56 out of 59 Westminster seats, many seats gained with greater than 50% majorities, so as a Scot I can tell you up here we unambiguously voted against Westminster's wishes to destroy public services.
