It's part of GDP thoughRight, so you're making £4Bn a year, which isn't exactly a significant amount. 100% of the money from the North Sea Oil would not go to Scotland nor Scottish companies.

Yeah, tax income, it's not 100% tax!
Most people round here who vote SNP are proper knuckle draggers who can't get beyond their hatred. They fail to see beyond SNPs claims they will have a referendum for independence and instead seize upon it as a means of letting that hate out. It's undeniable that SNP have picked up a lot of votes from neanderthals who wouldn't normally vote but can only see an option of splitting from the Union.

bet norway and denmark arent doing much better either ROFLf countries such as Malta, with a population less than Edinburgh's, can be self-governing, supporters of independence believe there is no reason why Scotland shouldn't. Optimistic nationalists claim Scotland could be as prosperous as Ireland, Norway, Denmark or Iceland with enough revenue from oil, gas, renewable energy and other industries to invest in a fund to look after future generations.
*jumps ship*
So... if you get independence, can the North East go with you? Then we just need a republic of London and the Tories can pretty much please themselves![]()

In addition to this, where has the myth that Scotland would own the North Sea oil reserves in the event of accedence from the union come from? North sea oil reserves are owned by five countries. In the event of Scotland splitting from the UK, the Continental shelf convention would need to be reworked, and ratified differently, it does not automatically mean that England would lose access to North Sea oil reserves.
There's already defined Scottish waters as part of devolution.In addition to this, where has the myth that Scotland would own the North Sea oil reserves in the event of accedence from the union come from?

Errr no.I read somewhere that the "brent field" would go to Norway, don't know why that would be, but they seemed to know what they were talking about.
Given that Norway is the only other country out of that lot with a large oil industry we would be more like them than the rest.lol googled and found an article from 2007.

How would you know?
How's old git then?![]()
Were you heading the Scottish Labour campaign by any chance?
I've already pointed out the flaws in this google 'argument'.
Yeah, thats better. You seemed to miss the part where I said that i voted for SNP, im happy that they have a majority and Im willing to give them a chance, im even happy for a vote on independence but also pretty confident it would get turned down once and for all.
Rather than your usual trick of making a statement that you want people belive to be fact, please explain what is make belive about it.Absolute make believe.
Try harder.
as far as im concerned you can have your freedom, dont expect us to help when it goes **** up
or someone declares war on you
So you don't want independence because being a member of the UK is clearly beneficial to Scotland, and yet you want the ability to make your own decisions, lets use free tuition fees as a rather basic example. Thats possibly nothing to do with the fact that the money received from the UK helps you achieve these desireable factors?
