@Scotland: ‘We Want to Remain Within the EU’ -

"We were the first part of the UK to ban smoking indoors, we're just about to introduce equal marriage for all people, we're just a more progressive, ecological, Nordic country. Presently our UK government doesn't reflect that." - Alyn Smith, MEP and member of the Scottish National Party.

Can progressives be the political midwives of a free standing Nation?

I think not.

Progressives or should I say communists hate Western civilization and want it tore down and replaced with some sort of totalitarian cesspit with them as the boss class.

You can see that in England as the more socialist it becomes the more authoritarian the government is. They now rule by edicts without public approval like some feudal lord.

Socialism = boot on the neck of the people.
