Talking of consensus.
What the English don’t seem to realise, and certainly the English press don’t, and indeed despite a number of coalitions in our UK history, is that a lack of majority is not the end of the world.
Our government here in Scotland is a minority government (apart from one term when the SNP did the impossible and won a majority). The current SNP government cannot pass legislation without the support of others.
Many countries right round the world operate on this basis.
What Westminster, now needs to do, is what it thinks is not possible, but which in fact is the norm for so many countries across the globe.
