Scotland Independance Referendum

[Ducado]

If they are not allowed in the EU, will it mean they will need passports and visas to visit England? and any that are working here without a work permit will be sent back north of the border?

They'll end up going the same way as Ireland.

What's this based on? Scotland has natural resources which completely dwarfs Ireland's. It is completely different and Scotland are more similar to Norway and Denmark than anywhere else.

The SNP would like to think so! As far as I am concerned go your own way, just don't expect us to underwrite you, if you want out fair enough, within a couple of years you will be begging to part of the Union again

Scotland’s Future sets out that we’ll remain part of the Common Travel Area between the nations of the British Isles. Being part of the Common Travel Area means  people won’t need a passport to travel to the rest of the UK or Ireland.

Aye, we love London making all our decisions for us. Just don't see how we'll ever last without it...

Apparently Salmond has reiterated that if an independent Scotland doesn't get a currency union with the UK, they will refuse to take on Scotland's share of the national debt.

If they don't take on their share of the national debt, they won't be entitled to their share of the UKs assets.

If they have no assets, they will be unable to support their new currency.

Salmond is supposed to have a degree in Economics but he doen't appear to understand the basics.

He really needs to provide details of how the Scottish economy will work without currency union to allow the Scottish people to make an informed choice.

Salmond's campaign isn't based on logic, its entirely emotional. I doubt he believes the Scots can retain the pound, or even wants to. He'd rather be in the Eurozone. And if Scotland join the EU they would have to sign up to the Euro.

At the moment he's just using the currency debate as an example of Scotland being bullied by the English. To get the Scots to vote yes for emotional reasons. The last thing he wants is for the Scots to make an informed choice.

Read today that Britain may lose its permanent seat on the UN Council if Scotland vote for independence. If true this is a big deal.

It's not at all certain they would be allowed into the EU, the Spanish would boycott their membership for a start

What happened to the circle of The Republic of Ireland / Scotland / Iceland that we were told was the future, as I have already said your own Huey Long lookalike has more faces than the town hall clock. Wish you well if its good by.

Yes but Britain has no part playing a world power anymore anyway.

No reason why one should lead to the other. It's our nuclear bombs that give us that seat, not Scotland.
