For those wondering, Neil Mackay is angry that Mhairi Black got an acting gig as a detective.

This is really poor from you.

"Independence is normal" gives us no indication as to what the vision of independence actually is. It does not tell us that we can radically transform our lives for the better. It merely indicates that it will have a minimal impact.

Indy activists need to use a better line.

Find me academic evidence or social studies that actually prove your latter point. I'm not interested in vibes

No one is saying do nothing. People are criticisng Labour because they want them to do better, but unfortunately its corporate takeover has been a disaster and empowered Farage. We either need an alternative party that inspires or reform Labour. Former is more likely than the latter.

Lmao come on man

So

1) By your own logic you would rather split the SNP/Labour vote and actually risk Reform getting in.

2) Your David Cameron claim is wrong, and is not backed up by sufficent research or evidence. It barely had an impact:

Scotland can financially survive as an independent country without the rUK, and that includes pensions and anything shared on defence.

I absolutely agree that unionists hold many powerful positions in our institutions. I am in total agreement there is a media bias. No complaint. The issue here is that it's not enough evidence to call Scotland a colony.

Your comment just screams divorced boomer energy. No substance or depth, just lazy labels with nothing else to provide real conversation. Get back to me when you have something of substance.

As someone who is both fairly deep in the arts and education sector, I can agree there's a London centric angle. That does not automatically equate to just "English", nor are they all English. That's lazy brushing with no serious evidence. You need to try harder than that.

The vast majority of Westminster government's have never won the popular vote. By your very own logic they have never had a mandate to process their policies through. Holyrood's PR system is also far more democratic and represenative compared to Westminster, so stop kidding yourself lol

You either do not have a clue what Reform's political motives are or you don't understand what the word "libertarian" means
