Incels. Incels and gullible teenagers who later become incels.

That's assuming you even get a fair election again.
It's just elitism. They think because they've suffered to learn C and have learned all the footguns of the language that they are smarter than people who haven't, so they see anything higher level than C as being a baby language for babies. 30 years ago I'm sure there was the equivalent of people who exclusively worked in assembly who thought the same about C programmers.
Ah yes, it's the immigrants' fault that education has been underfunded for years and teaching is such a woefully underpaid career. Definitely the immigrants' fault. No no don't look at the last 14 years of Tory rule that included austerity!
After spending a bit of time today debugging a systemd issue I can start to sympathise with this. Not come across or really looked for viable alternatives that aren't just a return to random bash init scripts though.
Ok hear me out. I'm a book author, I write a book and try to sell it for £100 while all my peers are selling books at 60 or 70. I spend the most money imaginable making my book. It's quite possibly the largest book in existence thanks to the effort of me and 5000 other people. I lie awake at night worrying that we'll never make back the money we've spent on it.
Wait what's this? Some team of less than 10 people has written a 3-page book and sold it for 2.50? And people are... Buying it?! But why? Look at the size of my book, clearly it must be better because it's so big, so fancy, so expensive! Every letter cost me millions! I read the 3-page book. It doesn't have money dropping from each letter like mine. It has a beginning, middle and end but mine has 500 acts each more expensive than the last. Surely it's not that good... It's pretty great actually. I have learned nothing from this experience, even though it's happened a hundred times. I will still make more money than entire countries, somehow.
Of course, but that requires both sides to actually want that. The rest of UK will not want this to work for the same reason that the EU didn't want Brexit to work, it gives other nations ideas about leaving. Even the SNP doesn't really want it to go perfectly because they'll lose their scapegoat that has given them power for over 15 years.
Look, I supported Scottish independence last time round, i cannot stand the UK government and it's inevitable direction towards Farage and his bullshit. I don't know how cutting off our best possible trading partner, the only one we currently and will ever share a border with, England, in favour of the EU will actually help us. I can't remember the figures but our trade is something like 90% with England, but England doesn't rely on us for anything, so they'd be immediately in a stronger position at the negotiating table. I really don't know how I'd vote now. My heart says yes to independence, my head says no.
Besides all of that, the SNP have been dangling this carrot for years, I'll believe it when I see it. We've heard this many times since the last referendum.
Why would the turnout cause an earlier election? Starmer is the only one with the power to do it and he has over 4 years before he's required to call it. People made the same comments about every one of BoJo's scandals and there still wasn't a general election until long after he'd gone.
