Politics

One case for Scottish independence advocates making Scotland a relatively free market haven like Hong Kong. That's a good start.
"There’s no reason (from a purely economic point of view) why Scotland cannot be a roaring success as an independent nation, as long as it embraces free markets, rejects state intervention and provides legal security. Unfortunately, the majority of Scottish voters view things very differently. They believe North Sea oil will be part of the independence settlement, and that oil and whisky revenue will pay for welfare and pensions. They hanker after increased socialisation of the means of production, providing an intellectual gloss for the unthinking majority that simply wants more for less."
Sounds unlikely.

Rand Paul calls Hillary a war hawk.
