Well those 43percent will have a presbyterian way of life.

How did you come up that? They are not religious so why would they have a so-called presbyterian way of life??

You don't understand so it doesn't matter.

The point is that Scotland is not liberal.

I said Scotland is more liberal than Ireland, not that it is liberal (I think it is though). Scotland is left-wing though, in a political sense - considerably more so than England.

Religion? Well Ireland is mostly Catholic and Scotland Protestant.

Historically and culturally Scotland has more in common with England, well most of it.

I don't think it is that simple. Scotland has just as much in common with Ireland as it does with England. Scotland and Ireland both share a similar culture. Both Irish and Scots Gaelic are from Old Irish. This is why both countries have names using the Mc/Mac prefix. They also share a similar music tradition and a lot of their folktales are the same.

Both were Celtic in the past and both were invaded by England and are now majority English speaking countries.

I think all the countries of the British Isles are connected and have a lot of history and culture in common if truth be known.

Well, it's farther north. If we're comparing say Glasgow with Dublin for instance, there'd probably be more rain in Glasgow. Relax. Nothing to get your knickers in a twist about.

Here, you can inspect at it if you want....How much does it rain in the UK? - Met Office

Yeah, kinda. But let's move on. Not a huge difference overall between the two, imo.
