Why the fuck is Scotland so pozzed?
Complicated answer, but most of it actually isn't. The "central belt" running from Glasgow to Edinburgh and containing about 2/3 of the population used to be massively industrial, and therefore was a big player in the early Union movement. From that came a Scottish tradition of lefty politics that got stronger in the 80s after Margaret Thatcher decided to use it as a testbed for her most psychotic policies. Partly due to Thatcher, but mostly due to globalisation, Scotland's industry started to die and the Trade Union Labour movement was replaced with benefits and drugs, making it a leftist client state.
The North of Scotland is very un-pozzed because its economy depends on the oil industry and it's full of hyper-Protestant Celtic wildmen who hate anyone who isn't exactly like them. When the South went for Socialism, the North formed the Scottish National Party, seeking independence from the UK. Initially it wasn't a very left-wing party, but when Tony Blair created the Scottish Parliament and sold Labour's Socialist soul to the neolibs, the SNP swooped to hoover up the entire North of the Country. They also took Glasgow after Labour stopped caring about the working class. They dominated the Scottish parliament and Scotland's seats in the national parliament for the last 20 years. Their dominance let a small group of shitlibs, headed by Nicola Sturgeon, to stage a coup and take over the party, deposing the previous leader Alex Salmond and even altering the statute of limitations on sex crimes in Scotland to frame him for rape.
Edinburgh, being the capital and full of art school faggots and its pretentious festival, was the mainstay of the shitlibs, and given that the SNP leadership never left it, they thought that everyone agreed with them and anyone who didn't would vote for them anyway. So they started with the ridiculous hate crime legislation and troonery, but that, combined with an embezzlement scandal that saw Sturgeon arrested, caused them to be massacred in the recent election because they abandoned both the Glasgow working class and the Far North wildmen weefree Celts.
The people of Scotland aren't that pozzed, but their government is. Or it was, before it lost its majority at Holyrood and in Westminster. Labour is unlikely to row back on the insanity given that Keir Starmer is a Satanist Neolib in the Tony Blair mould, but it doesn't reflect most people.
