I actually wonder how another independence referendum will go down 6 years later. How confident are they that everyone who voted No last time won't do so again?
Also, if they do somehow pull it off and gain independence, what exactly would they be able to offer the EU as a new member state? Their oil? It's not exactly rolling in money otherwise on its own compared to its worth in the UK. And it's deficit is currently 7x higher than the UK's. If they leave the UK, but their application to join the EU is rejected, they're well and truly farked.
I don’t get this argument. I don’t know why Scotland would fail as a country when any other country in Europe or beyond can somehow manage to stay afloat. Do Ireland or Finland have oil? How do these countries manage to survive without it? What does Denmark have that Scotland doesn’t?
Scotland, known as a nation of inventors, engineers and scientists. Who gave the world everything from the man who actually invented modern economics to its most popular products such as television and telephones.
Why on earth would Scotland be fscked? And if it was as bad as you make it out to be, why the hell are the rUK trying so hard to hold onto them? Does that make sense? Scotland the money pit, but please don’t go? Nah. The question is not whether Scotland can go it alone, it’s do they want to.
Go and have a SCOTCH and think about it
