Independence?

> In a month's time Scotland heads to the polls to elect their
new Scottish Parliament. This vote not only impacts life in
Scotland but also potentially shifts the conversation

Can Scotland Leave Britain & Rejoin the European Union?
--- Quote ---
> With the Scottish Parliamentary Elections just around the
corner, the topic of Scottish Independence has resurfaced once
again. Some Scots are especially keen to leave the UK because
they then want to rejoin the EU, so in this video we explore
that. We discuss why some Scots want to rejoin the EU, the SNP
position on it and how Scotland could actually go about
rejoining the European Union.

Scottish independence: could Britain break up? | The Economist
--- Quote ---
> The union between the nations of the United Kingdom is looking
increasingly fragile, thanks to Brexit. If Scotland were to
break away from Britain it would face an uncertain future—as
would the rest of the union.

Scottish Independence? What does the SNP Win Mean for Scotland's
Exit?
--- Quote ---
> Last week Scotts went to the polls to elect new MSPs and with
the SNP very nearly scooping a majority we wanted to take a look
at the implications of this win. We discuss the alliances which
are already forming and if the SNP's win could lead to a second
Scottish independence referendum and eventually the break up of
the union. We also discuss some of the results out of Wales,
where Labour did markedly better than in the rest of the UK.

Nicola Sturgeon's great independence gamble
--- Quote ---
> After a stinging rebuke from the Supreme Court of the United
Kingdom - which ruled that the devolved Scottish parliament
cannot authorise an independence referendum - SNP leader Nicola
Sturgeon has doubled down saying democracy itself is now at
stake, and vowing to turn the next general election into a 'de
facto' referendum. Could that work? And what does that even
mean?

Humza Yousaf has been confirmed as Scotland's new first minister
--- Quote ---
> Humza Yousaf has been confirmed as First Minister of Scotland
- one of the four nations that make up the United Kingdom.
Yousaf is not only Scotland's youngest leader but also the first
muslim leader of a major European party. He was narrowly elected
and faces the tough task of uniting a divided party with the
polls suggesting that support for Scottish independence is
falling. Our Europe Correspondent Simon McGregor-Wood has more.

'Silly student politics': Alex Salmond blasts SNP gender reform
fight
--- Quote ---
> “For goodness sake concentrate on self-determination, not
self-identification.”
--- End Quote ---

Soldier; doctor, leader, politician, guest, philosopher,
librarian, teacher, worker, guard, attendant, etc. are the only
self-identification descriptors we really need. However, it
would be truly difficult for rightists to continue with their
culture war against false-leftists if everyone else stopped
caring about "sex" as much as rightist peeping-toms themselves
do....
