I’m not opposed to them deciding and letting them get on with it btw.

It won’t be easy for them for the first few years but if they’re not stupid they will eventually build an economy comparable to other successful countries of that size that make their own decisions about what’s best for them.

It’s easy to post simplistic bollocks about their finances but for example Ireland was in the shit not too long ago and needed a bailout. Look at them now.

I don’t need to feed you shit. You appear to have enough of your own.

They’re Scottish Waters but the drilling is funded by the UK government, hence why there would need to be an agreement… that I can’t see going smoothly.

Drilling is funded by the oil exploration companies that pay a licence fee to the U.K. government than deduct their drilling costs to offset their tax bill.

If Scotland gains independence the oil/gas exploration companies would ultimately need to come to a new arrangement with the Scottish government.

Strange how you seem to think that a country the same size and population as New Zealand cant possibly survive whilst accepting that New Zealand does .


Weird.

I like her as a politician.
None of our concern I know but she comes across well and although it does seem to some to be a one issue party, she puts her case forward quite clearly and unwaveringly. Far more coherent an argument than what is thrown back at her, because you know it is a cause she is serious about.

Outside looking in again, but those trying to undermine her seem to me not to be as concerned about Scotland or the reasons she illuminates for independence, but more interested in saying you won’t survive without us, we’re hanging on to power.

I honestly don’t know whether you will decide to leave the UK or what form of state you would be if you did but I don’t see why you would not be encouraged to succeed by the rest of Europe.

The Republic of Scotland ?
Is that a possibility?
Nicola as Head of State? Maybe not she would be PM.
Sadds for Chancellor of the Exchequer.

That leaves Prez up for grabs.
Blueparrot? Scottyboi? Anyone stepping up to the mark?

The first president of Scotland an Englishman, maybe not :)
Seriously though the SNP were originally a single issue party, until Salmond and then Sturgeon realised they had to show they were fit to govern responsibly irrespective of independence to gain the support of non independence voters, and from that position of influence push for independence. They did that by having a full range of domestic centre left policies. It’s the only reason they have been the governing party and taken over from Labour as the main party in Scotland. So they are far from a single issue party.

It won’t be easy for them is a big understatement.

It’ll be a lot more significant for the economy of the UK than Brexit.

The border isn’t even their biggest issue, it will be a black hole in public spending so big it’ll make the austerity policies of 2015 look socialist.

And they won’t have a choice, there won’t be the money to spend even if they wanted to.

Strange to think a country the same size as Japan couldn’t survive outside the EU, when Japan do.

Where did we hear that? Oh yeah, Farage.

You’re spouting the same shit as Brexiteers.

The relevance is you’re saying the same stuff the Brexit campaign did.

“We can be (this country), we can be (that country)”

Comparing countries that haven’t had decades wrapped within a union is stupid.

Just as comparing splitting a country in two, then comparing what’s left, with countries of a similar population is.

We know the UK government gives more to Scotland in public spending than they give to the UK government in the first place.

There will be a huge black hole come independence.
