Scottish independence

[midden]

Mickvp,

What you will get is the chance to vote for a government, elected in Scotland, by the Scottish people, to take the decisions in Scotland that effect us here in Scotland.


It's almost worth the split just to see how much a government elected in Scotland by the Scottish for the Scottish would actually follows the wishes of the Scottish commoner once elected in

It does not current matter one jot what we vote up here in Scotland, England elects the government - period.  What's the point?

Much of what you are refering  to will be negotiated over or will be decided upon by the first Scottish government.  Remember that will be a government that we will have elected,


'Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted' springs to mind

and that will be answerable to us.


not the large Corporates supportng the economy then




Scotland has one of the strongest economies on the world, not a lot will change. 


could be damaged if the service sector decides to move out


My money is on a currency union, it's the most likely outcome, but you know what, who cares, we can use the pound without a currency union or adopt the Euro.  We could create our own currency but we run the risk a soaring Scottish pound, which wouldn't be a good thing in the long term.


If you kept the pound without a currency union it would be your own created currency 'the Scottish pound, or poond) and since staying in Europe is so important surely Scotland should be wanting EU currency union.

Take a chance on it?  There is nothing too loose! It's continue on the road to ruin or actually take a turn and follow a route of our own choosing, that will absolutely certainly not be in the direction we are headed today.


Hmmm

What about Trident? will it be staying in Scotland?

Now there's a thing :evil .  Anybody wanna bet against me on a currency union?  Probably not- eh?
