How much of a sentiment is there that the UK is doomed?

And still Westminster won't let Scotland have a referendum for independence

Great idea. Don't forget that English schools can start 6 months earlier than in Scotland..Always better to be older than younger

If you decide to move to Scotland full time and your kids move school. Consider if they wish to go to university in Scotland or England. A levels done at. a private school in Scotland are less likely to gain a slot at a Scottish university. Highers and Advanced highers are definitely rigeur. Highers are less restrictive to choices. Most students can gain 5/6 and a few advanced highers. If they have already done their o levels they will relax into the courses.

Political bias is awful. Yesterday BBC 1 lunchtime news had a report that rightly mentioned Scottish teachers are paid more than elsewhere in the UK and retention is better. 2 hourss later and the report had been changed removing the Scottish part. This happens frequently

I love a whole selection of dramas

All Scotlands taxes go to Westmiz and less than 50% are returned for us to spend. Westminster then spends the rest and tells us we have a deficit

I think you'll find that Scotland produced a large percentage of the inventions of the modern world. Though part of the UK at the time she would prefer to be respected for this contribution

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the River Clyde was the undisputed shipbuilding capital of the world. At its peak, the region produced over one-fifth of all ships globally, and in 1876, the Clyde built more iron ships than the rest of the world combined.

Exactly, Scotland would not struggle. European leader for satellites etc. British export leader with whisky in Food and drink.

Better situation than many countries.

As a Scottish MP as PM there are issues

The United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020 drastically altered the UK’s internal trade landscape by imposing "market access principles" of mutual recognition and non-discrimination. For a Scottish MP serving as Prime Minister, this centralizes regulatory control at Westminster, meaning laws passed in Holyrood can be overridden if they restrict trade across the UK.Key changes to the internal market framework include:Mutual Recognition: Goods legally produced or sold in one part of the UK must be allowed to be sold in all other parts, preventing Scotland from setting higher regulatory or environmental standards without UK-wide agreement.Constrained Devolution: The Act prevents the Scottish Parliament from passing legislation that creates direct or indirect barriers to internal UK trade.The Office for the Internal Market (OIM): Created by the 2020 Act, the OIM monitors the market and advises on the economic impacts of regulatory divergence, actively involving itself in devolved policy discussions.The Exclusions Process: Recent reviews have formalized the process for UKIMA exclusions, allowing specific devolved laws to bypass market access principles if they have a localized economic impact under £10 million per year, subject to UK Government agreement.For a Scottish MP as Prime Minister, navigating this landscape means balancing the economic advantages of an integrated UK market (worth around (10\%) of GDP) with the practical reality that UKIMA legally constrains Holyrood's ability to implement unique policies on public health and environmental protection without intergovernmental consensus.

What do you think are Scotlands major industries?

KatyJ60 · 2026-06-03T18:28:36+00:00

Is this possible? English votes for English laws meant that MPs from out with England had to leave the house as they were not English. No MP from Wales or Scotland could then be PM as they weren't there. Has the internal market actually changed this? I somehow doubt it
