Like modern football
I wonder how many good Scots, especially those of the separatist tendency, know the qualifications for standing for the Scottish Parliament, other than being at least 18 years old?
One must consider, in looking at the qualifications, how on earth, or rather, how in the EU, the SNP expect Scotland to be “independent” and “self governing” should they achieve their aims?
For clarity, the qualifications are being a British Subject, or a Citizen of the Commonwealth or, and here is the twist, a citizen of a member state of the EU.
Bit like modern football, really.
