The Scottish Politics thread

Yeah it had some detail but not enough. They will have to do better next time if they want to nail this.
They will have a more receptive population though for sure.
Be interesting if the UK gov tells the SNP what they can expect in the event of independence. IE. Their share of national debt aswel as the requirement to have their own currency or adopt the Euro. Wonder if the UK would request a financial contribution from Scotland like the EU have from the UK? Just some musings.

I wouldn’t discount any or all of those challenges!
There will certainly be a stooshy over national debt.
As the Bank of England was created by a Scotsman, we may claim that as ours (and then rebrand it) ;-).
It will certainly be every bit as complex as Brexit but hopefully not as acrimonious. After all, the English will be glad to see the back of us spongers.

I just cant see you guys turning down a good thing when you actually realise what you will end up with. Economically as well as politically. A one party state! Just like Russia lol. The result would be very interesting if uk all had a vote! ;-)

There would have to be discussion over national assets as well as national debt.

Depends what the alternative is though. We will put up with quite a bit to be rid of Johnson and co.

Would be th same risk for the UK becoming a one party state, when was the last time there would have been anything but a Tory government without Scottish labour/SNP mps. Actualy more likely than Scotland with the PR lists. The SNP in the 13 years of power have mostly been a minority government relying on other parties for support currently governing with Green MSP support.
 
Really, is this the oil myth? Or scotch?

Johnson wont be arround for ever. I also have a very dim view of all politicians like most i suspect these days.
Take it they meant as well as a share of any debt, Scotland would be entitled to a share of any UK assets.
