 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

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.

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.

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

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?
