The "We never get the Government we Voted for " Lie

1951 Scotland voted Tory; we got a Tory Govt.
1955 Scotland voted Tory; we got a Tory Govt.
1959 Scotland voted Tory; we got a Tory Govt....
1964 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt, however England voted Tory.
1966 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt.
1974 (February) Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt, however England voted Tory,
1974 (October) Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt.

1979, 1983, 1987 & 1992 we had a Tory Govt thanks to the motion of No Confidence in Jim Callaghan's Labour Govt that the SNP tabled. When Thatcher realised that the SNP were siding with her she then tabled her own motion of No Confidence, which took precedence over the SNP's motion. Supported by the 11 SNP MPs her motion of No Confidence was carried by 1 vote. The SNP are responsible for starting the Thatcher years.

1997 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt.
2001 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt.
2005 Scotland voted Labour; we got a Labour Govt.
2010 Nobody got the Govt they voted for as we ended up with a coalition.
In 1999, Labour delivered devolution and no one can dispute that in 1997, 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2016 “Scotland got what it voted for."

So, the next time Nationalists claim we didn't vote for this, think hard about the real facts !
