"We are, quite literally, a country adrift. We have no effective government. No effective Parliament. No effective allies. No effective vision. No understanding of what our state is any more. Or our country, come to that. No idea where it is going. No popular philosophy telling us that there is an alternative. No effective opposition to promote another option. We have nothing at all. I never expected to live in a Rudderless State. But that is where I now am. And it does not appeal." - Come On Scotland! Wake Up!
