The Scottish Parliament (Scottish Gaelic: Pàrlamaid na h-Alba; Scots: The Scots Pairlament) is the devolved national, unicameral legislature of Scotland. Located in the Holyrood area of the capital city, Edinburgh, it is frequently referred to by the metonym Holyrood.
The Parliament is a democratically elected body comprising 129 members known as Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs), elected for five-year terms under the additional member system: 73 MSPs represent individual geographical constituencies elected by the plurality ("first past the post") system, while a further 56 are returned from eight additional member regions, each electing seven MSPs.

A miniature fake version. Tomato sauce a must. Onions optional.
Such an iconic Australian 'delicacy'. I thought this fake one would make a nice picture for Macro Mondays. This week's theme: 'fake'. Happy Macro Monday/ HMM

" government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system. "
Milkweed floss became a key element in the fill for Navy lifejackets in WWII, with a processing plant located in Petoskey, Michigan. Google milkweed floss and WWII and you can get the whole story. So, our proud state made more than tanks and planes in the factories of Detroit, Flint, and Lansing, with the moniker, the arsenal of democracy. It also makes for such interesting nature abstracts, which I thought so with this one in a field down the street. I've learned you've got to catch these explosions before the Fall rains.

Memorial Day is a solemn national holiday in the United States, observed each year on the last Monday of May, that commemorates American military personnel who have lost their lives fighting foreign enemies.
All Americans need to stand vigilant against the palpable threat to our democracy posed by fascist forces, mustering within the nation's borders, that are actively seeking to undermine it.

The Democracy Monument (Thai: อนุสาวรีย์ประชาธิปไตย, romanized: Anusawari Prachathipatai) is a public monument in the city center of Bangkok, capital of Thailand. It occupies a traffic circle on the wide east–west Ratchadamnoen Avenue, at the intersection of Dinso Road. The monument is roughly halfway between Sanam Luang, the former royal cremation ground in front of Wat Phra Kaew, and the temple of the Golden Mount (Phu Kao Thong).
