//Because 3 of the last 5 PM’s were not appointed as the result of a GE.
Wouldn’t the next one prefer such an endorsement ASAP if they’ve supposedly got this ‘mandate from the British public’?//
Prime Ministers are not held solely following the result of a General Elections. The electorate does not vote for a Prime Minister; it votes to elect Members of Parliament. The Queen then invites whomsoever she believes can command a majority in the HoC to form a government. As such, Prime Ministers do not require a mandate from the British Public, only from The Queen.

//Why not stop commenting on another countries politics and concentrate on your own!//
But Scotland is part of Tora's country's politics. His country is the United Kingdom (of which Scotland is a minor constituent). Anything that happens there, especially in terms of its constitution, affect all of the UK.

But ToraToraTora claimed earlier that the Tories, the current government, don’t need Scotland nor the Scots, so which is it?

Fatti: "But ToraToraTora claimed earlier that the Tories, the current government, don’t need Scotland nor the Scots, so which is it? " - stop spinning, we don't need the Scottish seats to win an election that does not mean we want Scotland to leave the UK. That's just you deliberately making assumptions based on an out of context statement.

Whatever he said (and I don't know because I haven't read it) it doesn't alter the fact that Scotland is part of the United Kingdom. The UK is the only sovereign state involved here. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are countries, but not independent countries. The constitutional position of Scotland is under the control of the Westminster government and it may only achieve independence with the agreement of the UK government (unless it does so via a UDI).

//So you’ll be happy to have a GE at the earliest opportunity too then?//
/Why should there be a GE at the earliest opportunity? One isn’t due for more than two years./
And yet, JRM advocated exactly that less than 6 months ago, in the event of there being a new Prime Minister.
What was I saying earlier about things said that may come back to haunt politicians?
