There has been a movement in Scotland to be independent from the United Kingdom. Prime Minister of the UK asserted that he would follow the result of the vote which will come up next week.
The Japanese TV program said only 10 % of politicians in parliament represent Scottish; thus, Scotland's opinions have been dismissed. As soon as I hear this news, I thought the current movement was understandable.
However, I checked out how much the population of Scotland took up in the entire UK. The population of Scotland was actually only 8%, which indicates that the ratio of Scottish politicians in the British Parliament is almost proportional to that of the Scottish population in the UK.
I do not why the Japanese TV program encourages Japanese people to agree with the Scottish independence, but it is always better to check out the facts behind the news.
