Scots: to London: Drop Dead

The Scottish National Party romped, winning 55 seats. They're already pressing for a second independence referendum.

For foreign readers, here in North American and Australia, Scots are thought of as iron-willed Calvinists, breaking the land and fending off Native attacks. This is probably becuase in North America and Australia they were iron-willed Calvinists breaking the land and fending off Native attacks. Say a name like MacDonald or Mackenzie and one is tempted to follow that with, 'I need a good man to hold the line.'

All this pre-dates Braveheart.

Unfortunately all the Scotts of action, industry, nerve and will immigrated to North America and Australia, leaving the socialist dystopia one see's in Trainspotting, a people closer to Ewan McGregor's Mark Renton rather than William Wallace.

Last time around the SNP promised to close the Holy Lock naval base, free tuition and free prescriptions. This platform gives the game away. Scottish nationalism isn't about nationalism at all, but Scottish socialism.

Oh, and they want to rejoin the EU, meaning the Scots will simply swap out London for Brussels.
