So, we're currently talking at cross purposes, and I'm not convinced that I'm really adding much to this discussion by furthering it. However, to clear up any confusion between us, if your point is that Scotland favours a more heavily regulated labour market then you are both correct and in agreement with me. My point was simply that this is an illiberal position. Liberal only means "economically statist" in America. Everywhere else in the world it still means classically liberal - i.e. in favour of free markets. Again, I don't think I'm making this discussion any better by pointing this out, so I'm going to leave it there.
