Would an independant Scotland be forced to join the Euro?
- Thread starter Naffa
- Start date
Please stop discussing why younger people should be allowed any say in their future and implying that they don't know what politics is, when even the ministers that run the country don't, is laughable to the point of masked hysteria.
The issue is over with, they get their opinion stated, just like any other "moron".
When Arnold Clark on reporting Scotland were saying the young people they were getting applying for their apprenticeship were not able to communicate, were poorly educated and were surprised that they had to turn up every day, my guess is that most wouldn't have the faintest clue what they would be voting for.
And you don't see that as a problem with Scottish Governance?

Speaking as a Scot who lives in England and will therefore not get the vote, whereas English people living in Scotland will: I sincerely hope Scots rejects secession from the Union. Whatever gains are made will be outweighed by the losses.
I personally think Salmond is a bit ****ed off he's having to have the vote to be honest. The SNP look set to lose it (recent polls show a drop in support for independence) and then where will they be?

Education is devolved, so if it's **** now, it's not likely to get any better.

You did, but it isn't exclusive to the referendum indeed it's been an issue for decades and centuries.
Don't you think that is a little disappointing? The price of freedom is £500.
It certainly won't encompass everyone, but you have to quantify things like 'worse off / better off'. £500 a year to low earning households is not trivial, or to be sneered at.
Polls are indicative only, so if that turns out to be the case remains to be seen.
Disappointing, well, no. It's just another facet of reality.
King Leonidas actually. I'm just as fallible, and equally willing to self sacrifice for a just cause too.
Does this apparent widespread issue disappear with the advent of adulthood?
The losses are £1. I lose more per year than the Westminster approved cost of 'seperation'.
Still the most popular political party in Scotland, perhaps?
Do you think it's exclusive to Scotland?
That's the official figure from the UK Treasury arknor, and I don't think they can be said to be in the Yes Scotland umbrella campaign group..

Not likely. Their credibility will dissipate overnight.
Very likely. There is a clear disconnect between the choice of electing a Government at Holyrood and deciding on the constitution. People have clearly shown that they can vote SNP, disregarding or even opposing the independence question, and still want to remain in the UK.
I think that's what has Labour is such a flap, just how resilient the SNP are in Government amidst a **** storm of negativity and playing the man, not the ball.
SNP credibility won't disappear overnight in the advent of either result. They have too much of a successful record in Government, and the polls reflect this. People won't want to throw that away and turn back to Labour misrule.

erm wat?
not obvious choices in any way...
They'd have to create a central bank if they went down that route... also they wouldn't necessarily have to peg the currency to anything sterling or to any other currency.
