What would it be like?
I’m envisaging governance by people the majority of whom have never worked outside Scottish politics.
Dark unsafe streets - street lights and flood lighting of our historic buildings a waste of energy.
People openly shooting up on street corners - those not occupied by prostitutes. No prisons except for what they deem ‘violent crimes’, so presumably burglars and drug pushers free to ply their trade; shoplifting effectively decriminalised leading to fewer shops and choice - perhaps major chains pulling out.
The decamping over the Border of the higher rate taxpayers who don’t work for the state resulting in huge loss of tax revenue. Same for large companies. Presumably therefore massive increases in public borrowing?
Am I a pessimist?
