Curiosity of national proportions

Quote:In a word ...No. I think Scotland enriches Britain massively. I'll be sorry to see you all leave.



Time for a foc-u group hug?



We have to wait and see what happens.  The likely date for the referendum is some time autumn 2014.  A lot can happen in that time.  And of course we need to know how David Cameron and chums see devolution evolving if Scotland decides to stay in the union.  And vague promises and suggestions won't do.



And again I agree with Big Mac, not a lot will change.  If we go Independent we'll all wake up and wonder what the fuss was about.  However in the longer term we'll both start to see changes and real noticeable differences.





Here's a thought, if a Tory government increases the possibility of an Independent Scotland, then at the same time, a Tory government may make it so much more difficult for Scotland, if and when, she chooses to go.  We already seen a lot of nasty childishness from English Tories.



But if we can have an amicable separation, and if, and that is if, Scotland makes a success of it, then I have a feeling that will have a beneficial political and economic knock on effect for England.  If we make a hash of it (and nasty scum bag Tories could play their role here) it's gonna hit the former UK as a whole.

Being part of Europe is inevitable.  The pound is preferable today, but it might be the Euro tomorrow.  Europe has a lot of lessons to learn.  And if Europe is going to continue it's  neoliberal capitalist love affair, then Scottish economic experts and politicians better make sure their rose tinted specs have been well and truly binned, as Scotland will have to fight for concession after concession and in completely the opposite direction from which England is doing so.
