Why I support Scottish independence and think that all Socialists, especially Marxist Leninists, should do so.
I have Scottish matrilineal ancestry and this makes me biased on the subject as does the fact that the Larnians came to Ireland from ancient Caledonia. The British working class is not united against Westminster. The working class of Scotland, England, Wales, and Cornwall have not revolted and descended upon Balmoral, Kensington Palace, Buckingham Palace, the Palace of Westminster, and the City of London. It would be a more manageable and realistic task to unite the Scottish working class against Holyrood. The voice of the Scottish working class is weak and isolated under Westminster. Under Westminster, Scotland did not have a legislature for two centuries. There is a democratic deficit in Scotland. The working class in Scotland always votes against the Tory party and Tory policies only to end up being perenially governed by the Tory party implementing Tory policies on Scottish workers due to people in other countries voting for the Tories. Working-class solidarity would not disappear
