Are there any countries that have interesting national anthems?
I think the french one has a nice tune, but ours is shit.

All the ones with dictators.
And Italy.

Italy has two dictators, which is a pretty impressive score.

The fact that the Prime Minister happens to be Scottish doesn't mean shit.
Besides, it doesn't particularly look like he's running anything at all.

And Jock sits in Westminister while the saxon can't affect tartan law.

(I helped save b3ta! Dr Preference AjcuiVd289, Sun 10 May 2009, 13:54, archived)
Yeah, he sits there, because that's where the PM sits,
but that's not in any way England being ruled by Scotland. Otherwise he'd get to sit in Edinburgh to do his job.
I've honestly no idea what the process is for changing Scots law. I probably should.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sun 10 May 2009, 13:58, archived)
It's done through the scottich parliament.
But the point is that Scottish and Welsh MPs have a say over the domestic law of England, while the english have no say over Scotland. And for the last decade almost all of the senior leadership of Labour, and hence your country, have been haggis munchers.

Apparently
"Many areas of Scots law are legislated for by the Scottish Parliament, whose authority devolved from the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Westminster). Areas of Scots law over which the Scottish Parliament has competency include health, education, criminal justice, local government, environment and civil justice amongst others. However, certain powers are reserved to Westminster such as defence, international relations, fiscal and economic policy, drugs law, and broadcasting, amongst others. The Scottish Parliament does retain limited tax raising powers."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_law

I know, it does seem odd that we should have our own parliament as well as the UK one, while England only has the UK one. I never understood why the existing MPs in Scottish constituencies could just be the Scottish parliament, why do we need two sets of politicians anyway?

The European elections are coming up soon, we've got our polling cards. I know fuck all about European politics so I'd best not stick my oar in, it would only be adding noise to the signal.
