Umm let me think about that..................err...................No. :rolleyes
But you have a say. You are part of 'the people of Scotland'.
I'm no expert on currency, but I can't help but think that using an established currency makes the transition to Independence easy. And lets face it if we end of with some form of 'devo max' or fiscal autonomy within the UK then the pound it will be. So does it really make that much difference if it's the pound for independence?
I think it's more likely to be the opposite problem. Nor does it look that we would have the issues that led Greece into a mess. If we had our own currency it could easily become to strong. Frankly - pound first choice - but Euro will do if England wants to be difficult. And frankly I think it's probably desirable for England to have Scotland in the pound.
