During the Vietnam War, many American professors who opposed the conflict intentionally inflated the grades of their students that would otherwise fail. This was done so that their students would be able to dodge the draft, as students enrolled in university did not have to fight in the war. For the purpose of this debate, this phenomenon will be referred to as “academically forced delayed enlistment”.

A microprocessor is an electronic component that is used by a computer to do its work. The development of very complex computers and AI systems are heavily influenced by having access to advanced  microprocessors. 

Starting with October 2022, The U.S. has imposed a series of export control measures to heavily restrict China's access to advanced AI chips made with U.S. inputs, as well as to other tools used to developed AI produced by allies (the Netherlands, Japan etc) 

Four of the nine largest companies by market share (68% in total), producing semiconductors and other materials used to construct microprocessors, operate in Taiwan.  Similar Chinese companies make up only about 7% of the global market.

Hereafter AI is a programme that allows someone to upload information about themselves (detailed personality, voice, facial expressions, opinions, speech patterns etc) into an AI that creates an avatar after one's death that people can continue to interract with.

Female Rage is a trope in film and media that features female characters engaging in aggressive behaviour directed towards others which often invloves acts of psychological or physical violence motivated by injustices they face and general resentment surrounding their treatment as women in society. Examples of this include undertaking violence or revenge against another individual, usually a man, sometimes unprovoked or disproportionate.

A no-fault compensation scheme provides injured persons with compensation for injuries (eg, motor-vehicle accidents, medical injury) without having to prove fault against any individuals. Where a no-fault compensation scheme exists, injured persons are not allowed to sue in the civil legal system (eg1. if a doctor negligently punctures a patient's lungs during surgery, the patient is compensated through the scheme and they are not allowed to directly sue the doctor, eg2. in the case of a motor-vehicle accident, you can claim compensation for the accident, forgoing your right to sue them).

There are 4 main parties in the Scottish Parliament 
1) The Scottish National Party who advocate for independence and broadly centre left policy. They have right wing elements.
They have been in power for 17 years, and currently hold 63/127 seats in Holyrood. 
2) The Scottish Green Party, who are quite small, but were in coalition with the SNP in power, creating a majority government at the time.
3) The Scottish Conservatives, who are associated with the UK Conservative Party
4) Scottish Labour who are affiliated to the UK Labour. They are currently surging in the polls for the Scottish election, translating from their overwhelming success in the UK national election campaign. 
There are other small parties, such as the Liberal Democrats and the Alba Party. 

For the past 3 years, the Green Party and the SNP were in a coalition government. This was enforced by a cooperation agreement called the Bute House Agreement, which, amongst other things, laid out policy areas which the parties did not agree on, such as aviation policy and Scotland's status in NATO. 

Last month, Scottish First Minister at the time, Humza Yousaf, terminated the Bute House Agreement, after introducing bills limiting trans rights and extending the net 0 target, which the Green Party disagreed with. This led to no confidence votes in his power from both the SNP and the Conservative Party; which the Green Party supported; leading to his resignation. In the media, the Greens disavowed the decision to end the agreement, describing it as 'political cowardice' with the SNP 'selling out on future generations'.
