1—Most Scots support the UK.
2—We JOINED the UK in 1707, we were not conquered into it.

Not that true. My boss at work is from Scotland around Glasgow, of my own age group, grew up in Thatcherite Britain and now in early to mid 30’s, and he is a pretty hardline Scottish nationalist. He told me the Nats have more support than Unionists over all of Scotland now.

And he is quite an interesting mix politically speaking - pretty centralist average folk on the street and very much dependent on media report. Doesn’t like British Labour but like Australian Labor, absolutely hates Thatcher, a big fan of Obama and Reagan ironically speaking. I gauge he is probably a middle of the road Scot.

I understand that, but most of Scotland is now very, very liberal. Just like the Irish in MA and Chicago. I don’t know what happened to our people but something has gone seriously wrong. Perhaps all the conservative Scots and Irish came to America.
