He wants Scottish independence

He thus wishes to increase the taxes of richest, to facilitate the change of gender of the teenagers and to obtain the independence of Scotland. He also denounced the lack of diversity in Scottish institutions. “In our government, every director general is white. Every president of every public institution is white, it’s not enough”.
