Not a new article but a good yin! Most of Europe has much lower levels of income inequality than the UK. Apart from the Benelux countries and Cyprus, all of Europes countries use more renewable energy than the UK, despite Britain having more potential than almost any of them. In most of Europe, in fact, in most of the world, the idea that significant portions of your economy would be publicly owned is quite standard. In Northern Europe, its not abnormal to have decent childcare provision, to work a sensible number of hours a day, and to be more productive in total as a result. No, when people say that Scotland is different, that the social democratic aspirations of Scots are an anomaly, they are missing the point entirely. The social attitudes of Scots, and the policies of the Scottish Parliament, are pretty much standard for a European country. Scotland isnt the exception, its the rule.
