So, the last election result kind of highlighted the growing difference in the way Scots want their country to be run, compared to the way things currently are.

Personally, I'm also not happy with being into dragged into alliances with America, and having to petition my government to condemn Israel in hushed voices, lest we upset the USA. Add to this, the increasing vocalisation of anti-electorate sentiment amongst the MPs who have been elected (such as MPs claiming people at the bottom are resorting to food banks because they just don't know how to handle their money/it's their own fault/etc) whilst receiving tax breaks, claiming expenses on their second homes in the most expensive areas of London and, therefore, the island (because the centre of politics is, of course, in London).

Can you sense yet why this dissatisfaction has been growing?

For the record, I lived in Scotland my entire life until I moved to England two years ago for my PhD. I do plan to return. I don't have a vote, I'd like to see an independent nation state, but even if it's a "NO" I'd still like to see an overhaul of the entire British political system.

Just my tuppence. :3
