Has modern politics become all about money? And who can pay for the best clickbait ads on social media? We thought online might bring improved and open debates. But that requires more effort.
Instead online offers the instant solutions – lazy point scoring and no shades of grey in-between. There’s only good and bad. A comic book view of the world. Especially with the Trump person, who reminds me of the Joker. Except its not funny at all. Now we have the Mega influence arriving on British soil with English party Reform UK: who offer English nationalism. Its run by millionaires who only care about themselves.
What does Reform UK offer Scotland? - Britain is the most centralized western country – Reform will offer more centralization in a crumbling Westminster. Why should a group of people in London offices decide and implement on issues that are mainly relevant for Scotland?
What reform is Reform UK talking about? - More control by Westminster – less taxes for the rich, blaming and scapegoating the ‘other’ ; or being more aligned to America than Europe.
Scotland’s population is declining without immigration. We need to be in Europe, our natural allies. (Why does Scotland need more housing if our population is declining, is it older homes that need repaired?)
Scotland needs the opposite of what Reform UK is offering?! Scotland needs our democratic rights to self determination – control of our own resources, (already squandered by countless greedy capitalists); to be closer to Europe; and to have more immigration of health and care workers.
Scotland doesn’t believe we are better than any others. All Scots want is a seat at the table. .
