I'd settle for a Martian, as long as he/she was democratically elected- not just handed the crown by the outgoing ruler.

In the parliamentary democracy that is the United Kingdom, if a Scotsman becomes leader of the largest grouping in the elected house of that parliament, he is entitled to go to the soverign and seek authority to be Prime Minister. Many Scots have performed this role in the past - Tony Blair being the latest in that line. He was born in Edinburgh of a Scots father.
If, of course, you feel Scots people should have less rights than other subjects of the UK then I would be very interested to hear your case.

it is Politics. no longer in elementary terms do leaders ought to run the rustic - in addition they ought to save one eye on the subsequent election by potential of making specific that they 'press the flesh'. that's in basic terms yet another occasion of pressing the flesh. i'm getting the sensation that in spite of occurs, you have already desperate which way you will vote, so i assume in spite of he does or spins politically - you will attempt to counter spin. besides the undeniable fact that, there are the unsure and floating electorate who this manner of stunt is geared in direction of. some could have been inspired. modern-day Politics is extra approximately image and presentation fairly than coverage because of the fact the advisers recognize that they should pitch their product on the point of their objective audience. Rhetoric and polished presentation is working for them, so why do they should exchange? i could propose out of your question no longer having something to do with actually coverage and each little thing to with rhetoric and image - they are in all hazard precise.

The country's ruled by Scots anyway.
Blair is a Scotch name.
After Brown we'll have Cameron I suppose.
Let them have independence so we can bundle them all back there.
