When we get independence we're going full on Scottish National Socialism.

List the parties that are in favour of Scottish independence, and therefore the de facto means to achieving independence.
The problem with Scotland is it's filled with Scots
>>132977297
>>132973947
They didn't get culturally enriched like England did, which means that they still unironically believe in diversity, socialism and self-entitlement.

Support for the SNP is not support for anything other than independence, and the projections that the SNP would form the first government of an independent Scotland are so far from the mark as to be ridiculous. The SNP is a single issue party, when that's achieved, then they'll be finished.
>>132977695
>this is what cucks actually believe
Whoever governs won't matter, you WILL be a vassal state of the EU who will eventually be gobbled up into the super state it wishes to enforce. Scotland will cease to exist under their plan, politically and demographically. Lets assume in that short time you still have governance that the SNP does lose support, it won't matter. Scots will go back to voting for some new variant of the Labour party, and we all know what that causes.
That is the reality of what will happen. I'm sorry, an "independent" Scotland has no chance of existing while Scots vote overwhelmingly left and while the EU still exists. It's not going to happen.
>>132973947
The English didn't slaughter enough of them, same for the Irish. Now all of the stupid fucks in that god forsaken island chain have to go full Commie to try and bribe their quarter-English tribesmen away from the UK so they can LARP about how THEY WUZ LITERAL KANGZ and MUH FREEDOMS MO'FUGGA.
You'd think that the Muslim-subhuman invasion would give them some perspective and force all of them to put aside their petty differences, but they have literally only gotten more annoying. They would rather have the entire island group turn into a caliphate than work with the English to save themselves, it's pure insanity.

This is the key. They want everything that Labour offers except Labour wants to keep the UK together. If they form their own version (which they would) then this skirts around that issue. Pretending Scotland will "GO LE FULL 1488 SIEG HEIL XXFDXDXDXDXD" is just delusional as it doesn't support Scottish voting habbits at all. The reality is you got absolutely BTFO and you have no idea how to respond because you know Scotland is a marxist shit hole and independence the way you want it isn't going to happen unless the culture drastically changes.

It's worth noting that whenever proper polling is done the Scots tend to be just as right wing as the English on every policy except social safety nets, where they support them a bit higher than the English.
SNP delivered great national success in 2015 because they could unite the entire independence vote whilst the unionist vote was split more than 3 ways. Worth noting also is that most SNP voters did actually vote for them on that single issue alone, look in this thread to find that one anon claiming we'd swing right as soon as we leave the UK, loads of people believe this and don't actually pay attention to how shitty the SNP can be from a policy perspective.
Also, if the SNP kept those seats that Scottish Conservatives gained we'd all be living under a god awful Labour coalition right now.

This is true. I'll elaborate.
The Britons
>Celtic Britain inhabited by tribes of Britons, or Cymri; Celts from Germania who crossed the channel from Gaul
>Cymri trade with the Romans
>Civil war between two major tribes. One tribe asks for Roman support
>Rome intervenes, stays, conquers south Britain as far north as Antonine Wall
>Picts, isolationist Cymri, halt Roman progress, push Romans back to Hadrian's Wall
Gaels
>Gaels are Celts descended from Europe's first mercenary armies. Migrated from Germania to Anatolia, north of Troy, on campaign. Founded Miletus (root of "military"). Created first professional army in Europe. Some migrate from Anatolia to Iberia (Spain) some time after destruction of Troy (roughly 1000BC). Others continue to inhabit Macedon. >Some of those who went to Iberia continue on to Hibernia and call themselves "Tuatha de Danaan"). The Tuatha ethnically cleanse the then inhabitants of Hibernia, the "firbolg". Rest of the Gaels stay in Iberia.
>400BC - second wave of Gaelic immigration from Iberia to Hibernia commences. This second wave of Gaels call themselves "Milesians", "Sons of Mil" (Mil Espana i.e. Mil of Spain). The Tuatha and the Milesians recognise each other as kin but go to war nonetheless. Milesians gain upper hand; truce declared on their terms; Tuatha withdraw to the west.
Pax Romana
>Britain regularly raided by Gaels sailing from Hibernia
>Romans call these Gaels "Skoti" (pirates).
>Rome, in decline, withdraws garrisons and citizens from Britain
Dark Ages
>Skoti continue to harass the Cymri/Britons, who have no Romans to defend them
>Cymri hire Anglian mercenaries to fight Skoti. Anglians given land (Anglia) in lieu of payment
>Relatives of Anglians, called Saxons, hear of rich farm land and easy pickings; invade Cymric Britain
>Britons pushed west to Cornwall, Wales ("Cymri" in Welsh i.e. synonymous with "Briton"), west Mercia, Cumbria (Cymri-a), and Strathclyde. Picts retain the north beyond the Antonine Wall

>>132993116
Quite a few do, but they're overshadowed by the unionists and the (((CIVIC Nationalists)))

If it makes you feel any better, the rest of the UK also thinks you're more cucked than the rest of the UK
>>132993607
Yeah, thats how brit/pol/ feels better about living next to paki's and being awoken by the call to prayer
Dear Aberdonians,
Thank you for voting Tory. Without you we'd have Jeremy Corbyn in power right now, you're no longer the worst city in Scotland. That dishonorable title now goes to Scumdee.
Many thanks, rUK.

Aberdeen is stuck in the late 80s. There are footballers with mullets still in Aberdeen.

Dark Ages (cont.)
>circa 600AD, Skoti conquer northwest Britain, found the kingdom of Dal'Riata
>Saxons found three major kingdoms in what will become "England": Wessex in the south, Mercia in the west, and Northumbria in the northeast
>Anglians retain the Kingdom of East Anglia in the east of England
>Cymri retain Cornwall and Cumbria (today part of England), the Kingdom of Strathclyde (today part of Scotland), and Wales (today a principality of England)
>Gaelic missionaries introduce Celtic (Orthodox) Christianity to the rest of Britain outside Christian Dal'Riata. Even the Picts convert...
The Vikings
>"The Great Heathen Army", under Ivar The Boneless and others, invades Britain around the beginning of the 9th century, conquers Northumbria, East Anglia, and large swathes of Mercia. These lands become "The Danelaw"
>Vikings conquer Orkney and Shetland. Every Pict male is put to the sword. Women are taken to wife
>Pictland is assailed on both sides and its coasts are harassed regularly. The kingdom is on its knees...
>Dal'Riata subsumes a weakened Pictland under House McAlpin (Gaelic-Pict descent), creating the kingdom of Alba
>Alfred (The Great) of Wessex defeats the Vikings in the south. He intends to purge them from the Saxon lands of Northumbria and Mercia. He permits some to remain in East Anglia under Guthred if the latter converts to Christianity
>The Vikings march on Alba. They make peace... Land grants in the north western Highlands and Hebridean islands are made. Gaels and Vikings regularly intermarry. Today, Scots Gaels are officially termed "Norse-Gael"
>Alfred defeats The Great Heathen Army and the Danelaw ends. Puppets with tenuous claims are installed in Mercia and Northumbria - the latter will never again remain a cohesive kingdom...

I'd rather be stuck in the late 80s than live in Modern Britain. Aberdeen is quite a traditionalist place outside of the student areas.
Apparently CRT TVs were still popular in Northern Scotland (inc. Aberdeen) well into the late 2000s. Can't confirm whether this is true or not.

technically this year they got the tories in
Without their 13 seats they'd have been well short

Scotland and England
>"England" is formed by Athelstan. This fulfils one dream of the House of Wessex - unite all Saxons under one crown - but another remains: Rex Totius Britanniae - King of all Britain
>Athelstan invades Alba, forces Constantine McAlpin to bend the knee
>Battle of Brunanburh fought in 937AD between Athelstan, King of England, and an alliance of Olaf Guthfrithson, King of Dublin; Constantine, King of Alba and Owen*, King of Strathclyde. The battle is indecisive but Athelstan emerges the stronger, since the aim of his foes was to break up England before it could get off the ground
>Nonetheless, Olaf would retake Northumbria after Athelstan's death. This sets a pattern of Northumbria being contested over and over again
Have to fast forward now, some bullet points...
>The Gaels and the Norse become practically one and the same through intermarriage, hence "Norse-Gaels"
>Northumbria is a hot mess of different groups (mostly Saxons and Jutes) and rival claims.
The Normans
>conquer England in 1066
>are small in number
>expand influence through marriage
The House of Dunkeld
>David I was son of Malcolm III (vanquisher of MacBeth) and Margaret of Wessex (who fled the Norman Conquest). David had claim to the English throne, so was taken hostage by the Norman's
>he was treated so well, he became a Norman himself. He was released to return home and claim his throne, whence he set about Normanising the country
>his mother, the Catholic St. Margaret, had already set about Romanising the Celtic Church, which had it's roots in Orthodox Christianity
>thus began "The Scoto-Norman Age"
*Note the Welsh name of the King of Strathclyde. He was Welsh, or Cymri, or a Briton - all mean the same thing. William Wallace also came from Strathclyde (Wallace = Welsh)
