Scotland politics

[CeasarBoobage]

I know, this is kind of out there...

The issue of Scotland divorcing itself from the UK is a big issue in the area, and the Yes/No votes are hotly contested. Maybe there's a plot bunny hiding in here somewhere.

In a tight race for the last three votes that will make or break the election, the champions of the Highland Games are noticed. They have registered to vote, but due to training demands they have not yet visited the polls. Six ladies (or nine? Twelve?) take it upon themselves to convince these athletes to vote their way.

How ever will they do this? Do these lovely ladies seduce the men and envelop them in an orgy? Promises of more to come based on their votes? Do they merely strive to please the athletes, or do the women of each camp try to one-up the other side?

Why does Scotland need to vote for separation anyway? How did the Scots get in the position of being a vassal of London? Simple: THE FOCKING COUNTRY WENT BANKRUPT BACKING A BRAIN-DEAD SCHEME FOR A PANAMA COLONY! Scotland went broke for a malarial boondoggle and had to sell itself to the English. It was an early Euro bailout. Okay, let the Scots go free -- see how long it lasts, till the next bailout -- maybe by Norway. Will Scots take orders from Oslo?

Plot bunny: Scotland is taken over by Swedes for use as a sex-slave colony. Hilarity ensues.

The GB this ain't... If it was, I'd probably compare their current mindset to the nanny-state of California, then wonder when they will find their balls again and regain their former warrior mindset. Meh. The trolls would have fun with that one, lol.

This is the Story Idea board, hence the OP. Any good ideas for a story? Maybe this could turn into a version of the Olympic Games?

It has to have something to do with kilts. There is something very erotic about kilts.

And maybe haggis.

But no bagpipes, please.

Y'need the pipes for the strength ta quaff the haggis, mate.

But I digress.

Having never been there, much like Kafka when he wrote AMERICA, I am free to entertain whatever Scots fantasies I can handle. Somehow I'm looping between BRAVEHEART and TRAINSPOTTING with maybe a bit of LOCAL HERO thrown in. Well, and the Highland Games, for sure, woven into a USA-traveling Celtic festival playing local fairgrounds on weekends. Big manly men (probably not junkies) in long skirts and hybridized costumes, about as authentic as the huipile patterns imposed on Maya Indians by Spanish conquistadores.

Then there are other strong manly men in skirts, rafting down wild and scenic rivers in hot weather. My neighbor the bushy-bearded geologist ran the Grand Canyon of the Colorado numerous times, his crew always clad in what they called 'kilts' but were actually skirts scavenged from Goodwill bargain counters. None of these guys had a Scot accent. Just as well.

But I digress. Again.

OK, so back to the OP. Non-voting athletes (and others) must be dragged to the polls. GOTV (GetOutTheVote) volunteers form HOARS FOR HOME RULE or IN BED FOR INDEPENDENCE or FUCKERS FOR FREEDOM or whatever. Hot teams stalk their targets. Some teams follow the stone-hurlers; others go looking for any laggards. Do poll-watchers in Scotland give out I HAVE VOTED stickers or stamp the hands of those casting votes? Anyone without such an emblem would be fair game for the sexual persuaders.

Hey, I managed to stay on-topic! I deserve a reward.
