Scotland is not a bit like Texas, sadly for Scotland.
Whatever nostalgia drives that perception of similarity, it is obsolete.
Texas would arguably benefit from losing the bureaucratic overhead of the USA, but the Scots are unhappy that they have an insufficient degree of socialism. Based on previous revealed preferences, left on their own they would go for more socialism. Until they go broke.
Texas has big cities that are full of welfare crowds and leftists
I’ll give you that point. Far too socialist, however when you speak to ordinary folks out in the countryside, they’d shed this nanny state mentality all together. At least that is the impression I get speaking to the average working stiff.
You are talking crap!
Scotland will always be Scotland and my very good friend, bless his big soul, who married a lovely girl from the big T will be dancing a partying the night away. Good bless Scotland and Texas.
