Supporters of the bill, which passed by a vote of 101 to 19 with only 2 abstentions, shrug off the criticism, saying change was overdue in Scotland, where half of private land is in the hands of just 343 landowners and only half of Scotland's land has gone on the market in the past century. They should first get rid of the Monarchy, Lords, and anything that give a privilaged royal class a leg up. The rest will take care of itself in a free market. The Scots intent is good but the means rot.
The means rot indeed.
