IMO nationalism is inherently divisive because it highlights perceived differences between people, emphasizing an individual's identification with their own nation. So good luck with that.
Fox-
I see Jim Murphy is hanging around like a bad smell in the office. Labour in Scotland finished then.
I'm glad he lost his seat. All he talked about was the SNP. He had zero to offer.
Sorry Fox that's not meant as a reply but I cant edit that bit.

So you'll be voting for the Humanist Party of Earth for the next election will you? Lines are drawn somewhere. If five million people decide that being part of an outdated historical union they never voted for and that routinely marginalises them isn't the way forward it's probably quite a sage decision to set up a system that better serves their needs and compliments their national identity.
Champagne quaffing cadavers lurching around Westminster in ermine capes or the queen bombing around in a solid gold chariot doesn't really give most people up here something to relate to.

Possibly, but you haven't argued convincingly as to why creating division is inherently bad. Putin thinks that the divisions that were created between the post Soviet states are inherently bad. A lot of people think of those divisions (i.e. sovereignty for the Baltic states) as good things. Nationalism isn't an evil in its own right.

I now quite like the idea of moving to lovely lefty Scotland, but I'm English. Would it go well?
