In the May 6 election in the United Kingdom, separatist parties won in Scotland. Not only the strong Scottish National Party but also the Green Party wants to secede from the United Kingdom. Why?

Independent Green Scotland

When was Lorna Slater, co-chair of Scottish Greens An interview It is very clear about independence: ‘After the epidemic, Scotland faces enormous challenges. What we see in these elections is the right of the people of Scotland to determine how their future choices are made. For us, it translates to holding a referendum. (D) Will it be? BrexitAre the stories in London or a government in Scotland determining our future? “

Hostages by the United Kingdom

The Scottish Greens’ arguments for autonomy are similar to N-VA’s arguments in Flanders: the (federal) state is the sum of democracies that take each other hostage. For nearly two-thirds of Scots, the hostage situation was strongly expressed in Brexit. So the majority of Scots want new members of the European Union. After the short-lived independence referendum of 2014, there seems to be a small majority among the Scottish people in favor of breaking 315 years. Union With the ‘Tories’ England.

For Greens, the fence is a way to create an ecological community. The heart of the Green Dream is the strong (grinding) currents between countless Scottish rocks and islands. Water turbines can generate a lot of water energy and electricity there. The hope is to supply that power to the EU via an electric cable under the North Sea. Income should then be used to fund generous Scottish social policy such as low tuition fees at universities. In addition, Scotland wants to deploy its massive freshwater supply, build an army of wind farms and carry one Very ambitious climate policy Then England (or later Flanders).

Green power for red projects

Autonomous Community Project

Despite structural similarities such as democratic discontent, the Scottish situation is different from Flemish in some respects. What parties like the N-VA can learn from it is that it is not always enough to nail institutional nails like Belgium blocking democracy. It seems that a positive social program is necessary to attract more voters. The question is whether the right-wing, sometimes neo-liberal reflex – ‘driving out Wallonia’ – has such a nature to convince young or mostly economically moderate Flemish people. The Flemish region does not describe itself particularly ambitious in the field of climate policy. Nevertheless, the Flemish movement has a long-standing respectable social and environmental heritage.

Flemish nationalists are rightly concerned about the status and strength of Belgian democracy. Evolutions such as the acquisition of Luminous Ascendant, which will take three-quarters of the French population into French hands, seem to be of less concern in the Belgian energy supply. However, what is Flemish independence if one of the many strategic (utility) sectors is dependent on countries like France?
