Scotland didn't vote for Brexit. Scots STILL thinking we're #bettertogether in 2026, should be ashamed and aren't really paying attention.

Under the plan, the state pension will continue to rise each year in line with inflation or by 2.5% - but the annual earnings link will be dropped.

In 2013, large-scale polls consistently showed that only 25% of Scotland supported breaking away from the United Kingdom! It rose to nearly 50%, only a year later, in spite of the (now easily) demonstrable lies of: #bettertogether! We definitely need another Referendum!

There is no actual debt. There are $40 trillion worth of bonds. The US govt can pay the yield on these by creating the money required. When bonds reach their term, they can be repurchase by spending the money into existence. Just change the rules about requiring bonds to cover US hovt spending.

It has always been clear that conflating the outcome of a parliamentary election - many issues and multiple voting choices - with the outcome of an independence referendum - single issue and a binary voting choice - was just plain wrong. This poll gives fresh evidence of just how badly wrong it is.
