People in England are very angry about politics.
But that’s because they believe their past (England =Empire) was a better place.
In Scotland, by comparison, there is much less anger because a majority believe the future can be a better place.

Britain IS broken.
Torn apart by post-Empire exceptionalism, coupled with a deeply unpleasant shift to the right to feed the 'money men' and the archaic remnants of feudalism.
We need #ScottishIndependence to deliver the fairer society Scotland's people want, and vote for.

Same for me. The union is not good for any of us - maybe worst of all for England. But the cloak of Britishness and the MO of the two Westminster parties seems to hide England from itself. Easier for England to dissolve the union, but easier for us to see the need. And there's the rub.

Which, frankly, is one of the reasons I became an advocate for Scottish independence: the hope that achieving it would give a wake-up call to England too and my friends and family there might benefit from the changes.

C) the fundamental state of the union have been changed, against our will.

This is not “between” Scotland and England…it is “FROM” Scotland to England.
Secondly… this extracts £4,309,920,000 per annum from Scotland (based on current average retail tariff of 24.6p per kWh).
What’s in it for Scotland?…nothing!
