Scotland

Empowering youth

The decision to lower the voting age to 16 for national elections in the UK is both timely and transformative. It reflects a growing recognition that young people are not passive citizens-in-waiting but active participants in society with a legitimate stake in how their country is governed.

Defining Womanhood

The UK Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling that the term “woman” under the Equality Act 2010 refers to biological sex, not gender identity or legal recognition, marks a pivotal moment in the country’s legal and cultural landscape.

Scottish question

An independent Scotland is not easy. British law would require approval from Westminster, which depends on consent from Prime Minister Boris Johnson to hold a binding independence vote. Johnson is not keen to become the Prime Minister who lost Scotland.

Scotland’s future

Ms Sturgeon has said she will not hold an illegal “wildcat vote” on the issue of referendum, arguing that it would not actually lead to Scotland becoming independent because the result would not be recognised by the UK government or the international community.
