I think Denise Mina has made the best argument Ive heard thus far - TopicsExpress



          

I think Denise Mina has made the best argument Ive heard thus far on the subject of Scottish independence: “Independence is a conceptual mistake. We live in a global environment. The nation state is an irrelevant 17th century construct, and the autonomous nation state is even more fantastical. All countries are bound by a web of international and supranational obligations. We would not be autonomous. We would be disadvantaged. Factionalizing can only benefit stateless corporations as we vie to give them the best deal. And, in a rapidly warming world, forming a small country, reliant on continued oil production, is in no one’s interests, not even our own.”
