<p>I am a liberal socialist who supports replacing the United Kingdom's archaic, undemocratic political system with a form of proportional representation and the abolition of the House of Lords. I live in Scotland and support the campaign for Scottish independence. I support the right to peaceful protest. Nuclear weapons are not a deterrent; they are a means to our swift annihilation. If unchecked, climate change is a path to the same end.</p>
