crispix posted:Scottish independence any time soon would make the NI position extra ludicrous The DUP bought it upon themselves, a shortsighted bunch. Would Arlene emigrate to England or Scotland after the 2024 Irish Reunification?  This is leaving me a very perplexed nationalist(small n); never felt British & never felt Irish (100 years of cultural divergence near Ballymoney does that to a person).

The Question IRL posted:* = We weren't alone in that line of thinking. African American troops in the US were promised similar things. And I have no doubt other people in the world have very similar stories. Yup, there's a reason India became independent only 2 years after the war ended.

SNP will continue to dominate Scotland until either: Scotland gets independence Another referendum fails and people lose faith. After independence they would need to gently caress things up pretty badly or turn heel (which is what a lot of people expect) to be kicked out across the board.

What's the argument against Labour doing a quid-pro-quo with the Scottish separatists and making a manifesto promise of a referendum in the last year of their first term? "Give us a chance to make Britain worth being part of" sort of thing?

What does it gain them? People are still going to vote SNP and then labour's entire term in office becomes centered around the independence referendum.

The best available option would be to propose something positive that was arguably preferable to both the status quo and full independence. Some kind of United Federation of Britain that consisted of fully independent nations that decided to share a state. Make that open to any other formerly-British nation that wants to join or leave at any time with minimal restrictions. Maybe New Zealand or one or two of the other wired places that actually like the UK could be persuaded into looking at joining. For bonus points, have Ireland join in 2024, on condition the word British was replaced with Planet.

And again, what would it gain them in the current electoral system to run on that platform?

So I got made redundant in August of last year because of covid stuff, since then I've been applying for stuff here and there when I see something I really want but now the gap on my CV is pretty big obviously. Is that something I should be worried about at this point or do people reckon that employers are going to understand that is probably a thing that's going to happen with how 2020 went? Like in any other year I would have just been applying for whatever and gotten a random data entry job, probably would have taken up some volunteering or done a course or something but with all this I was only applying for stuff that was offering remote work because gently caress no I'm not going on a bus or train if I can at all avoid it and I was doing OK enough from that job to not have to worry about money too much (which I know makes me very lucky). Now I'm all self conscious and not sure whether I should address the gap on the CV or in cover letters and if I do address it, how.

What would motivate voters to stay with the SNP though? The paradox with the SNP is they promise a referendum which even if they won every seat they contested, they'd still have no power to deliver. Their only hope of success is a DUP style tiebreaker moment. Labour on the other hand could deliver a referendum unilaterally if they won an outright majority and even in a coalition there are no likely partners who would oppose that. Lending Labour a vote would become a far more credible path to a referendum than SNP loyalty. Meanwhile in Westminster you can throw everything you have at rebuilding Britain and when the Tories bring up the deficit you accuse them of selling out the union to save a few quid, pincering them between their core values of unionism and fiscal responsibility. Make the referendum a done deal and the debate becomes about how you swing it in your favour.

Lending Labour a vote would become a far more credible path to a referendum than SNP loyalty. If you want independence then it makes sense to vote for the party that is single issue independence and keeps winning seats. Especially if you want to guarantee that labour is not going to renege on a commitment to it, because then the SNP has the ability to vote down all their stuff if they don't have a majority. A weak UK government is good for the SNP and indpendence supporters, there is absolutely no situation where if you want independence you are better off voting for labour than the SNP, because the SNP gets you MPs in parliament that will support independence, there is no need to vote for a labour MP who might or might not stick to that unless you have other interests. Labour could facilitate it with a majority, but forcing them into a coalition lends the SNP bloc far more power. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Dec 30, 2020 |

That and occasionally, like Old Testament God, I'll pick one individual and find ways to gently caress with them like putting their house at the end of a map-spanning one-way system so they can get to work in 20 seconds then take weeks to get home.

CS isn't so much a game as it is a sort of moving model builder. There isn't much actual game to it other than traffic simulation, which it is, in fairness, quite good at. If you want to build horrible abomination junctions it's a great game for that and does a decent job of encouraging you to use real life road design because it simulates (or can be made to simulate) a lot of real life traffic concerns like smooth merging and minimizing stop/starts.

Well I was wondering what my MP would do in the Brexit vote and it seems she went against the whip and abstained (following the preference of a clear majority of her constituents) and therefore has resigned from the front bench. Principled!

This is an answer from the field of Engineering. Your field may differ. Can you answer questions about that gap with something better than Renton posted:The truth -- well, the truth is that I've had a long-standing problem with heroin addiction. I've been know to sniff it, smoke it, swallow it, stick it up my arse and inject it into my veins. I've been trying to combat this addiction, but unless you count social security scams and shoplifting, I haven't had a regular job in years. I feel it's important to mention this. If so, no problem. Recruiters are used to seeing gaps on CVs. Parenthood, sabbaticals, contractors between jobs. It's normal. Don't try to hide it. Put one line in saying something like "August 2020 - Present: Looking for next opportunity". If you've done anything worthy like caring for family members during the outbreak or learning a new skill definitely mention that too.
