Thread: Scotland

We are promised nothing and no special treatment. On and on and on,

As someone not living in Scotland i really have no reason to tell Scots what they should do. It's 100% up to them.

There's still plenty of areas in EU that are dreaming of independence, in my country too, Sami, Åland and SW Finland specially. Being part of EU but to separate from their motherland. Many still need to face the reality: currently they gain in being a part of the nation, they wouldn't have economic changes to get along on their own. In soma cases, specially Åland, it's also a strategic question: they couldn't arrrange their defence without Nato.

There was an amazing turnout and poeple are saying it shows that people are starting to take more interest in politics.

General and local elections usually have lousy turnout. Personally I think the Scots got such a good turnout as there was actually something to vote for this time.

In the other elections we have a choice between the mediochre of one camp and the mediochre of another camp. There is nothing inspiring as, whoever we vote for, the government gets in. They are all as useless as each other!
