It might make some sense that Scots are more supportive.

British politicians have little interest in what The British people think about issues that are of little interest to those British people. In fact, they care little about what The British people think anyway - consider issues such as immigration and the death penalty. British politicians prefer to 'lead' public opinion using sympathetic media, rather than follow it. <br /><br />Any Irish Nationalist hoping to use British public opinion to leverage a United Ireland is going to be very badly let down - yet again.MaleStrippernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1062377461026943825.post-21504772110010804172009-09-24T06:46:48.704+00:002009-09-24T06:46:48.704+00:00Robert Emmet/pagasp,

With peace, English attitudes seem to have softened somewhat. I've had a quick look for the graph which shows how this figure has changes over the years but couldn't find it.
