nothing happened because officially the prorogation never happened, it was removed from the records after the supreme court said the government could either go back to work or Labour would be in charge of the country and passing whatever bills they wanted to, completely unopposed. If the same thing happened here it would be the government overruling scottish parliament and the courts saying "no you arent" and the government pretending they didn't even try it. Which is probably exactly what will happen

the system works!

The Scottish exec is the administrator of the majority of parliamentary authority, and the only body that gets a say on the matter, according to Westminster itself.

Going "nuh uh" is a constitutional crisis because the UK government is going against parliamentary supremacy by totally ignoring the devolved areas set out by Westminster

westminster can simply say 'nah, what we said about who has that authority doesn't matter now that the evil trans people are involved'

Literally yes, the act granting Scotland its parliament has this clause

quote:

Power to intervene in certain cases.

(1)If a Bill contains provisions—

(a)which the Secretary of State has reasonable grounds to believe would be incompatible with any international obligations or the interests of defence or national security, or

(b)which make modifications of the law as it applies to reserved matters and which the Secretary of State has reasonable grounds to believe would have an adverse effect on the operation of the law as it applies to reserved matters,

he may make an order prohibiting the Presiding Officer from submitting the Bill for Royal Assent.

(2)The order must identify the Bill and the provisions in question and state the reasons for making the order.

(3)The order may be made at any time during—

(a)the period of four weeks beginning with the passing of the Bill,

(b)any period of four weeks beginning with any F1... approval of the Bill in accordance with standing orders made by virtue of section 36(5),

(c)if a reference is made in relation to the Bill under section [F232A(2)(b) or] 33, the period of four weeks beginning with the reference being decided or otherwise disposed of by the [F3Supreme Court].

(4)The Secretary of State shall not make an order in relation to a Bill if he has notified the Presiding Officer that he does not intend to do so, unless the Bill has been approved as mentioned in subsection (3)(b) since the notification.

(5)An order in force under this section at a time when such approval is given shall cease to have effect.

The origin story of Scottish subjugation is also pretty funny, the Scottish ruling class basically sold the country to England to pay off their debts from failing to do an imperialism by building a colony without access to drinking water

Maybe this isn't accurate but it is funny so it's true

It's fairly accurate, Scottish elites were bigger on the whole UK project than the English. It wasn't popular among the population as a whole.

Imperialism is funny like this.

Scotland wants to break away and have say over own future - British Gov "No, your ancestors made agreements which are clearly iron clad, you have to abide by decisions made hundreds of years ago"

India/Caribbean/Kenya etc wants reparations for awful abuses sustained over decades under British rule - British Gov "You can't blame us for things which happened before our time"

Maybe this isn't accurate but it is funny so it's true

I think they had water as there was a river close to the settlement. But they also were totally unprepared for malaria. 10 deaths a day at one point, for a colony of 1500 at its peak lol. The actual funny part is that when they abandoned the first attempt the English refused to allow the ship to stop in Jamaica on the urging of the King of Scotland lol

"The Company of Scotland was backed by approximately 20% of all the money circulating in Scotland" lol some sources sat it could be as much as 40%.

It's hilarious Scotland is wedded to this fetid union because a bunch of nobles & booj bankrupted themselves & the country. I can't find how small the electorate was for Scottish Parliament seats. 100 years after Union the turnout for the Inverness-shire seat was 32 though so I can't imagine it being much more than 100 voters in 1702

That's officers and staff, of which it has about 43 thousand, so clearly there are many more yet to discover.
