There are to be some elections in Britain next month. One of them is to elect the members of a new Scottish Parliament. (The Scottish Parliament has responsibility for things like Health and Education, but not UK-wide things like Defence.)
Now, the SNP is the Scottish National Party, but are the Scottish Tories the SNP's friends and coalition partners, or their enemies?
Can you tell from this headline in the Telegraph newspaper.?
Stop SNP 'wrecking' Covid recovery by voting for Scottish Tories, says Douglas Ross
To discover the answer to this question you really have to know that Douglas Ross is leader of the Scottish Tory (or Conservative) Party.
Yep, though you can't tell from that headline, te SNP and the Tories are deadly enemies. It's like watching a production of Macbeth at times.
Though, admittedly, with fewer people tramping about carrying trees.
Word To Use Today: vote. The Latin word vōtum means a solemn promise, from vovēre, to vow.
