Some Conservative MPs from England secretly favour Scottish independence, as it would give the party a permanent majority at Westminster, said former Conservative Secretary, Lord Forsyth of Drumlean, who is Scottish.
Slamming the favouring of party gains over the British union as "foolish", Forsyth said:
“There are number of foolish people in the Conservative Party in the south who are keen on independence or ‘Devo max’.
“Labour thought by creating devolution they would have permanent power in Scotland. I don’t think political parties can establish support by trying to gerrymander the constitution – the voters are smarter than that.”
