There's a lot of sense in what you say. For that reason I doubt if the Labour Party will go for it. The British ruling class rarely if ever does anything sensible.

EU parliamentarians acknowledge the catastrophic risks of artificial intelligence β€œWe are on a trajectory towards a loss of control,” insisted Stuart Russell, professor of Computer Science at UC Berkeley and author of the textbook used to train virtually every AI researcher.

There is a serious risk that AI will kill everyone.

I think abortion should be legal. I also think the EU shouldn't decide, its member states should individually decide for themselves. The EU should stick to doing things where it's necessary to have the same rules (e.g. the single market) or where there are benefits for doing things jointly,

But all voters who want Scotland to be ruled by the Scottish people (and not Westminster MPs we didn't elect and can't get rid of) must vote for a pro independence party.

Personally i hope the unionist parties get zero seats, because they don't deserve any. But I'd settle for them getting as few seats as possible. Voting SNP 1 Green 2 achieves that. if some voters don't like Greens they can consider SNP 1 Alba 2.

Sarwar isn't a leader, he is just a branch manager. He's Starmer's poodle and will do whatever his master tells him to.

Starmer doesn't care what's right for Britain he just wants to cling on to power. And Westminster doesn't care what's right for Scotland, they just want to steal our oil.

Time for indy!

Trump is at best neutral and at worst an enemy. Russia is an enemy, so is China. All of them want to harm Scotland so we need to be part of a big strong powerful united alliance, which should contain all EU, NATO ex-USA, countries plus whoever else wants to join.

Farage wants to make Britain a vassal of the USA. He wants to hand over our NHS to the US healthcare industry and force us to eat their shitty chlorinated chicken.

Maybe Starmer thinks "I wish I could have a gang of armed thugs to murder my enemies".
Farage certainly does.

What does "change the system" mean? you really need to go into detail, because anyone can just say "change".

Boycotting the world cup would only make sense if we hold our own alternative tournament. Doing so would be feasible as most of the world's top national teams are European.
