Bosque Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 England’s obsession with transgender people is truly something else.

wastedpotential Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Now the action the Tories are taking here is abhorrent, but I don't think this counts as a constitutional crisis. The operating definition of UK devolution is that, when political whims change (as seems to be the case here given this threat), is that the higher parliament can take back the authority devolved to the regional parliament. It's a very different system than in the US, where state legislatures are pretty much untouchable to the federal government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the added nuance; from what I've seen from commentators in Scotland, how the action will be interpreted on the ground though will basically be as a huge over-step, even if not technically a constitutional criss. Do you think that sentiment is true? It's just a bit bonkers that transphobia would be seen as such a pivotal weapon for English conservatives that they're willing to re-ignite calls for Scottish independence to keep TERFs happy.

Do you think that sentiment is true? Yeah definitely, it would be a huge reversal of policy toward Scotland (and a massive erosion of political norms toward the non-England parts of the UK) created over the past 25 years, and would certainly spur further independence support. I'm not surprised that this is happening, but I can't believe the Tories might ******* make trans rights the wedge issue that would drive apart the UK in a way that not even Brexit could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Tories being trash as usual and trying to use Trans people as their new culture war. If they do this then they can kiss any chance of Scotland voting to stay in the union goodbye. Meanwhile Scotland is always being the most progressive country in the UK and queen Nicola always delivering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Slayne Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 SNP has been trying to have another referendum ever since the Brexit vote, England tempering with Scotland's legislation will only strengthen SNP's case for independence it's kinda crazy (and politically stupid, to be honest) that they would do this over trans rights of all things not that trans rights are not important of course, they are! but I don't think there's enough TERFs that care so much that this would sway them to vote Tory in England or Scotland, so this means that Parliamentary Tories must really just be raging transphobes if they are willing to risk losing Scotland over this.
