maryhilldon Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Aye I get that with regards to the EU, however I am talking about the seperation process with the rest of the UK, not Europe. Surely we will have to negotiate our portion of debt, gold reserves (if we have any), portion of armed forces, cost of adopting sterling etc etc.You've answered your own question. Link to comment
For Fecks Sake Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 It's not really comparable is it? Firstly it is 99% likely the SNP will be part of a majority government with the same interests. So any deal should easily pass through parliament once it had been decided. England really do have a lot to lose in this case. Oil revenues back up the strength of the £ massively. Scotland has a large number of exports and is very self sufficient when it comes to water, power, oil, food etc. England also has no where else to keep the trident submarines so until they build a base else where 10? 20? 30 years?

For Fecks Sake Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Except of course that, in the case of an independence referendum, we had a white paper outlining what people were voting for and in the case of Brexit, we had a lie printed on the side of a bus. You're comparing apples to oranges, but of course you know that and are just being deliberately obtuse as usual.The white paper contained some massively optimistic statements and commercials ($115 pboe or similar) did it not that ultimately proved to be incorrect? 1 2 Link to comment

maryhilldon Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Let's be honest, if it suited the elite down south financially they'd be promoting Scottish independence. If we really were a fiscal burden they'd be happy to see the back of us. 1 Link to comment

You can see it as being negative, however others will see it as wanting to know the facts in order to make an informed decision. As for your question, well to quote you "who gives a fuck" about other countries. We're talking our country here no other. Oh and Quebec had to justify their case for going independent. 1 2 Link to comment

You can see it as being negative, however others will see it as wanting to know the facts in order to make an informed decision. But that answer can't be given about either the status quo or independence. Hence why it's nonsense. Look at how the UK economy has struggled between now and 2014. It's hard to sensibly argue that an Indy Scotland's would've performed as poorly. Link to comment

Jocky Balboa Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 The UK of the 21st Century is Schrödinger's Union. On one hand, it's biggest advocates tell us it's the most successful political union of all time (which may have been true until the start of it's terminal decline in 1945) while simultaneously telling us Scotland is, uniquely among Western countries, incapable of running its own affairs and surviving on its own. Considering the logic, for the UK to be the most successful political union of all time, all four of its constituent parts would have to be punching above their weight, yet Wales and Northern Ireland are two of the poorest states in Western Europe (the former is a post-industrial backwater, while the latter had a huge head start over its Republican neighbour, yet with the exception of healthcare has lagged well behind it for decades) and Scotland is, allegedly, running huge deficits and subsidised by the generosity of its southern neighbour. So, I ask, is the UK still the greatest political union of all time, or is it a failed state which has impoverished two of its members and turned a third into a resource-rich but failing basket case? It can't be both. 1 Link to comment

fatjim Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Just realised that FFS was referring to pension savings plummeting in relation to indie. Which is private pensions but they have already plummeted due to brexit. They've gone up again a bit but only back to the levels they were almost a year ago. Almost a year of growth completely gone. That's fucked up. 1 Link to comment

Its the previous no voters that need convincing and no amount of propaganda of the likes of removing stains or some of the other pish Caledonia posts is going to be effective. Link to comment
