Well, my other problem is trying to find things that I want to write about and also know something about.

For example, I mostly believe that - much as Britain's voice on the world stage is stronger within the context of the European Union as well as a nation state on its own - Scotland and Wales1 should both be stronger in a properly representative United Kingdom. Such might entail a more federalised structure, to some degree. However, I have absolutely no backing for my belief other than some extrapolation, minor lateral thinking and what feels right. At which point, I turn into some crap columnist in a broadsheet who's only there to provide opinion and colour and to show that the paper respects opinions of PeopleWhoAreWrongButAren'tWeTolerantDon'tYouThink? and not, you know, well-informed debate that actually matters.


1 I would include Northern Ireland here. However, most debates surrounding NI that I see do not include independence as a real option for it, rather whether it's part of the UK or part of Ireland. At that point, the argument diverges wildly into whether it would be better off as part of Ireland or as part of the UK, which is a completely different discussion.
