It all seems untenable as we have nothing to do with England thought-wise about what we want

The only socialist party winning seats in Scotland is the SNP (6 to be exact). Labour ceased being a socialist party when leader John Smith died in 1994. You do have your own parliament which is entirely made up of Scots, so what are you complaining about? Have you not noticed it? It's in Holyrood, you know that place that cost millions of (English) tax payers money to refurbish. It just goes to show how little you know about politics, doesn't it?
Obviously you're a Celt, you hate the English and you want to be shot of us. Fair enough. The problem is, and as I said in another thread, England does not chain the Scots to be a part of the UK. You Scots have the option to get independence at every general election, but only a minority seem to want it. I wonder why.
