It won't happen in my lifetime unfortunately. This position is consistent with wanting regional devolution and an actual application of the principle of subsidiarity. I just happen to believe that National identity is a construct of feudal society that has been appropriated by capitalist interests. Sure lol. Convenient and creative way to mask the fact you're a raging British nationalist. If you want a federal Europe you must want Scotland to leave the UK. Right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the sort of pish I’d expect to hear from a second year politics student at 2 in the morning pissed on cheap lager. The sort that goes on to scrape a 2:2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an O-Grade in Arithmetic and we were allowed to use a calculator. Got an A, presume everyone did. It was about the time when slide rules were getting phased out.
