John Thurso, our MP, said he wasnt voting either way in Westminster, but in his constituency he said he was against it .

This man will always abstain (or opt out,as we lesser mortals call it) if he hasn't the guts to vote against the coalition. www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/john_thurso/caithness%2C_sutherland_and_easter_ross For somebody with below average attendance at Westminster, he still seems to rack up above average travel and subsistence allowances.
I believe the other Scottish MPs who voted for acceptance of the "bedroom tax" were LibDems. What a self-seeking shower of useless wannabees

This 91% of Scotish Mp's, would that include the Scotish MP's that represent English constituancies in Westminster? This "so called tax" is being introduced in all parts of the UK not just Scotland.And thinking on, why should one or two people have a 3 or 4 bedroom council house?

Well, no! Scottish MPs mean MPs represnting Scottish consituencies. Other MPs of Scottish Nationality are representing constituencies in other countries in the Union..so technically, they would be English, NI and Welsh MPS.

I'm not against the principle of people in social housing downsizing to free up houses for other people in overcrowded social housing to get enough space for their needs..but the main reason for one or two people having a 3 or 4 bedroom council house is that there simply aren't enough smaller houses The way to sort that isn't to penalise people with nowhere else to go....but to build more social housing..and completely stop the sale of social housing. Once we can keep up with the varying housing needs of the population..then penalising is an option....or even more sensibly..make downsizing part of a tenant's contract. That way downsizing can be compulsory, if necessary, depending on housing needs in the housing area..but everyone would know that was a possibility from the start of their tenancy.
