Which is more IDM, Scotland or the Act of Union?
I say Scotland should go for it, England is a moribund polluted crowded craphole where you are condemned to a life of zero-hour-contract slavery unless you are lucky enough to be born with a PPE degree tattooed to your ass. That's how it seems when I read the news anyway. Is it actually like that?
(PS you have great booze though)
Scots just need to remember that the North Sea oil is nearly gone though

in all seriousness I don't blame them, perhaps they will model themselves on what Scandinavia is doing.

FWIW I think Scots independence might be good for England. If they vote yes it would lead to a lot of soul-searching amongst politicians and parties in London, surely? It certainly seems like they need a whopping kick-in-the-nads of some sort.
Scotland would likely follow a more social-democratic route. If they succeed then it would also be a model for English parties to emulate.

"Is it actually like that?" No, and you're a cunt.
The Tories will love it if Scotlang fucks off, so they only have to worry about starving the North to death.

the world needs to run as one complete united unit without countries, or as small communities e.g villsges that can function without fossil fuelled transport, e.g solar horses. things in between dont work.

and without strapping up faraday hat, which is more likely come whatever apocalypse scenario you can posit? and actually may allow what we've already already nobbed up the envirobum? mind you a lot of co-ops turn hierarchical very quickly, apparently we quite like somebody to tell us what to do as long as we have the ability to upload images of artisanal foot-high burgers or whatever we get post-disaster. better fucking taste, i bet

I think this guy is on the ball. People all over seem totally disillusioned with the London government, perhaps Scots independence would light the spark for change in England?
I think that's also what my fav author, Iain M Banks, said in an interview once IIRC
UK politics is fun!

strapping up faraday hat. i don't know what that means? faraday-cage-grade tin-foil beanie, probably? your incredibly english writing is fascinating to me like a mantis shrimp.
in any case, yes, you wind up with some charismatic scoundrel at the top arranging "marriages" and then the state of utah throws you in the pen.
you could call religion an "operating system" of sorts. school is application software. what's needed is the whole stack done properly, with no bullshit, and distilled into a simple, easily-translated document. at the end you say "please reprint this" and then use ion cannons to fire pamphlets all over the planet from a series of geosynchronous satellites. nothing less will do

Vote's tomorrow, any scots here?
I hope they vote yes. From my faraway viewpoint it doesn't actually seem to be about dumb nationalism, but more to do with getting fairer political representation etc

As an English person im ambivalent about it, on one hand I totally understand Scottish people wanting to reduce the influence of Westminster based politics, where everything outside of London seems almost like an after thought, and on the other hand there are loads of socialist voters in Scotland who balance the politics in the Whole of the UK, so if they leave it means more conservative governments for the foreseeable future

The Scottish independent or not? Why? What's the difference? You live on one island and speak almost the same language..for foreigners it's all the same besides the better whiskey and higher hills and skirts, you already have your identity..what will be better for the scotch when you get independent? I don't get it..it's probably money right?
