scotland and the united kingdom, the british isles are part in that regard loss of whether scotland becomes in the future at some point in the future an independent country, you know, is always integral, but we have a reality. the united kingdom is not and never has been a unitary state. it is a nation of four different nations. we've seen through devolution an asymmetry in how the united kingdom is governed. we've seen different priorities emerge in each of the nations and that brings into sharp focus the relationship between a scottish government and the united kingdom government. i think it's a big test over the years to come over the united kingdom, the construct that is the united kingdom. is it adaptable and responsive, can it accommodate the different views and different directions in which each of its nations wants to go in? or will it prove to be unresponsive, in which case, perhaps, and i simply say perhaps, the united kingdom will not continue as the construct that it is. >> watching from the other side of the atlantic, i think many americans look at what's going on over there an

judy just told you, 56 out of the 59 electoral constituencies in scotland. labor won the election in wales. the conservatives won in england, with 60% of the seats there, and of course northern ireland has an i have different system of party politics. so there was no one, uniform result across the united kingdom. the multi-national united kingdom voted in four very different ways. and shortly before the election, i raised the question of what actually constitutes an electoral mandate when the nations are voting in different directions. in practical terms, simply winning enough votes and seats in england can secure a parliamentary majority. but had that is achieved in only one of the four nations, the question arises, what kind of mandates is that. the conservative party, of course, has the right to form the government of the uk and has indeed done that. but it was not the biggest party in three of the four nations of the uk. in fact far from it. so the legitimacy of those other nations comes very clearly into focus. so as i discussed with the prime6áhex mini
