There are independence movements in basically every country in the world.

Responses:

Why do you think they have their own parliament? - the liioulu with bee book Jul 15, 17:08 16
- It was a part of the plan for devolution, not for independence. - Reagen Jul 15, 17:12 15
  - Just because that's the case in Canada does not mean that's the same in Scotland. - the liioulu with bee book Jul 15, 17:16 8
    - I can tell you that the UK parliament manifestly did not grant home rule to Scotland for the purposes of giving it training wheels to independence. - Reagen Jul 15, 17:19 7
      - I did not call it out of date. So you are the one confused. - the liioulu with bee book Jul 15, 17:28 6
        
        But see, that's what my initial comment was about. You can't just change the subject. - Reagen Jul 15, 17:32 5
        
        It's called politics. And yes, it frequently contradicts itself. - the liioulu with bee book Jul 15, 17:35
        
        (seriously, you do this all the time. You'd be well served to backboard occasionally to see what people are actually talking about instead of just - Reagen Jul 15, 17:33 3
        
        I did. Started with a Venn design, and the discussion about Scotland's cirlcle not being quite right. - the liioulu with bee book Jul 15, 17:38 2
        
        This is about Mop's comment. Try to keep up. -- nm - Reagen Jul 15, 17:38 1
        
        Excuse, now who's changing topics? You told me I should read backboards, I had all the way back to the beginning of this subject. - the liioulu with bee book Jul 15, 17:42
  - See: Canadian granting of home rule to Nunavut. -- nm - Reagen Jul 15, 17:14 5
    - Different country, different history. -- nm - the liioulu with bee book Jul 15, 17:17 4
      - Yes, but Mop's argument was that because they have a parliament, yada yada yada. It just isn't so. -- nm - Reagen Jul 15, 17:20 3
        
        I'm not mop. -- nm - the liioulu with bee book Jul 15, 17:29 2
        
        but the argument is a continuation of his comment? See? -- nm - Reagen Jul 15, 17:32 1
        
        It wasn't really. You were trying another tack that didn't fit. -- nm - the liioulu with bee book Jul 15, 17:40
