If some of those who voted Leave in the EU Referendum did so to 'shake up' British politics, it has certainly worked.
The economic ramifications of Brexit look bleak; Boris Johnson looks utterly petrified about what he'll do next; Remain and Leave voters can't stop arguing; migration doesn't look like it'll come down any time soon; the NHS won't get its promised £350m; and both the Conservative and Labour party are in danger of imploding. Other than that, everything is fine.

As the Tories ready themselves for an imminent leadership battle following David Cameron's resignation, and certain factions within Labour try to instigate a coup against Jeremy Corbyn, the general public seem as fed up as ever with the traditional big two of British politics.
They want a viable third option, but most would never vote for Nigel Farage's very right-wing UKIP, and the Lib Dems are still to win back the nation's trust after getting into bed with David Cameron during the coalition government.
It is therefore interesting then that a growing number of people in England want to vote for the very same alternative - the Scottish National Party.

It may seem bizarre that they are drawn to a party which is heavily in favour of an independent Scotland, but lots of English voters agree with many of their major policy decisions, and are thoroughly impressed with Nicola Sturgeon's strong and pragmatic brand of leadership.
Will they get their wish? It seems unlikely at present, but nothing is impossible amidst the current clusterfuck that is mainstream British politics...
