When we mentioned we were hosting a general election party on July 4, a relative asked whether there would be any Labour supporters there.
This took me aback. We have long used election nights – general, US, Scottish when we lived in Edinburgh – and two referendums as an excuse for a knees-up and we welcome political diversity.
Until the battle became embittered north of the border during the 2014 independence vote, we would even entertain the odd (very odd in some cases) Scottish nationalist in our home.
