<<Contradiction in terms, fellow compatriot. 'Local government' are only responsible for a 'local' area, not a country, the day-to-day running of which is the responsibility of a 'Soveriegn government'.>>
Well Mr. pedant, in that case I was obviously referring to Scotland as being the local area. And as Scotland is a country I phrased it as I did above.
I see where you are coming from with my slightly unclear statement, but I'm sure you know what I meant and I can't see what you're adding to the conversation.
Just to make myself clear, the Scottish government is responsible for the day to day running of it's country (it's local area). Westminster remains in control of the long term and international decisions of Scotland.
Local government in the UK is usually made in reference to city Councils. I think you've made a mistake in saying that the sovereign government runs the every day situations of the country. It is the local governments who do this, the sovereign government makes large scale decisions which are implemented over relatively large periods of time.
