Devolution was the process of providing a regional government, and autonomy over defined policy areas, to Scotland and Wales in 1998.

Devolved powers are constrained to domestic issues (for example the Scottish and Welsh governments have control over their respective education systems, domestic transport infrastructure and health services). International issues are reserved to the central British Government (for example, trade deals, issues relating to security and defence).

The "stay-at-home" trend is a trend where young people demonstrate a significantly reduced tendency to go out or engage in experimental activites. This includes: less clubbing, less casual sex, and socialising more online. 

Recently, there has been a rise in left-wing criticism of liberal NGOs for failing to be intersectional.<br><br>Some examples include: the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion rights group, facing criticism for insufficient diversity in its workforce; and the American Civil Liberties Union, facing criticism for failing to prioritise free speech rights for specific minority groups.

Record labels control music production, artist promotion, and streaming. They influence the type of music created and often favour solo artists over groups. Consolidation in the music industry refers to the merging of record labels and conglomerates. For example the "Big Three" (Universal, Sony, Warner) dominate the market, accounting for nearly 70% of the global music industry.

Keynesian economics is a macroeconomic theory that emphasises the importance of strong government intervention (e.g. deficit spending, funding large infastructure projects, quantitative easing/tightening) to promote sustained growth. 

Hayekian economics is a macroeconomic theory that emphasises the importance of limited government intervention (e.g. minimising annual deficits, free markets, constant monetary policy) to promote sustained growth.

In Common Law systems (e.g. UK, US, India, New Zealand) judges interpret legislation within the context of specific cases and create new legal principles that form precedents for future rulings. Common Law systems are adversarial, such that lawyers of opposing parties advocate for a case, and judges act as a non-interventionist arbiter.

In a Civil Law system (e.g. France, Germany, Indonesia, Japan) laws are primarily codified in legislation by the government, leaving limited room for judicial interpretation. Civil Law systems are inquisitorial, such that while lawyers of opposing parties present the case, judges take a more active role in investigating the case, gathering evidence, and questioning witnesses.

Juries can exist in both systems.

Under the IMFs lending policy, the IMF may declare a creditor country to be 'intransigent'. When seeking a bailout from the IMF, a debtor country must now:

1. Stop making any payments to any intransigent countries;

2. Agree not to seek any new loans from any intransigent countries;

Until the debt has been repaid to the IMF.

The divine right of kings is a political and religious doctrine of a monarchy. It follows that only God can judge a monarch, and that any attempt to depose, dethrone, resist or restrict their powers runs contrary to God's will and may constitute a sinful act.

In a theocracy, without the concept of the divine right of kings, religious leaders and institutions govern the state directly and have the divine authority on earth.

Celtic and Rangers (collectively referred to as 'The Old Firm') are the two largest football clubs in Scotland and currently play in the Scottish Premiership. 'The Old Firm' has been dominating the Scottish Premiership, and the number of attendees at their home games are equal to the rest of the top two divisions of Scottish Football League combined.

For the purpose of this debate, ‘The Old Firm’ is offered to join the English Football league structure, entering initially in the English Premier League.

The EU Artifical Intelligence Act is legislation that regulates AI Systems on a 'risk-based approach'. Under this Act, the higher the risk to society, the stricter the rules (for example, increased document keeping, greater obligations on users and distributors, increased human intervention and oversight or, in extreme cases, banning the use of the system). This legislation does not apply to military and defence systems.
