I don't think so. Corbyn's class warfare of the 1970s has been thoroughly rejected. Bojo got votes across the class divide.This election has shown that while England is moving toward an ugly and divisive politics.
The oil price was much higher in 2014 and also the oil markets had a very profitable decade up to 2014 riding out the financial crash. If Scotland was going to leave based on economics and going it alone then 2014 should have been the year. Now the oil price is not very high and north sea oil almost extinguished. We shouldn't look too much into the outcome of this election as first past the post and single seat constituencies means that winner takes all, hence 0 for the brexit party even though they were the biggest party elected in Europe.Scotland was a raw material superpower yet it is one of the poorest regions of the UK. Wales was a raw material superpower before it and it is even poorer. If we had not gained our freedom we’d be as poor as Wales. The UK is essentially the colonies of the London region and all wealth flows to them. Scotland is too poor not to be free.
Brexit will now disappear from the British populist scene. Yes it will be very messy just as the 7 year Canada deal was messy but that will be between technocrats - Brexit truly has been done so far as the masses are concerned - with that majority Bojo can extend the transition for as long as it takes. A good result for Ireland Inc.
Also Bojo is basically a liberal conservative, one nation conservative if you like - he is not a Donald Trump lookalike.

Also I wouldn't be pinning any hopes on the break up of the UK. Yes the SNP had a reasonably good result but that was in the context that Brexit might be stopped. There is no way that the Scots having rejected independence comprehensively in 2014 would ever vote for an independence which would break away from the UK customs union and join the euro.
It will still be able to trade with the rest of the UK and as part of the EU will probably have excellent terms.Scotland would be crazy to leave the UK CU for the EU CU - 4 times as much trade done with the former as with the latter. And surely they wouldn't vote to join the euro. SNP would be making a big tactical mistake to link independence with applying to rejoin the EU.
Yes, that's the standard line used by the pro-union side and their masters in England.The oil price was much higher in 2014 and also the oil markets had a very profitable decade up to 2014 riding out the financial crash. If Scotland was going to leave based on economics and going it alone then 2014 should have been the year. Now the oil price is not very high and north sea oil almost extinguished.
And very fetching they are too...But Purple the men wear skirts
That would mean a wave of violence here from Unionist terrorists, a threat to our democracy by the Shinners and having to share our country with regressive bigots from both sides of the tribal divide in the North
we benefit a lot from being neighbours to a very big country, an awful lot of graduates go to the UK for work and experience, our industries are not big or deep enough to provide this experience.
On that point specifically; outside of medicine I don't see a huge flow of Irish graduates going to the UK for experience, not in mechanical engineering, med-tech, IT or other high-tech industries anyway. Maybe in finance and that sort of thing but I don't see it in my area.awful lot of graduates go to the UK for work and experience, our industries are not big or deep enough to provide this experience.
