Is Scottish independence a 'good or bad' thing?

Keep telling yourself that.

Bravo Sir, just ignore everything and revert to saying YES is lying!

NO are of course beacons of honesty!

If Scotland becomes Independent and the rUK honestly takes the position that they don't want a currency union, so be it, plan B may well have to do (and it does exist) but for now this is simply political posturing.

I asked you a simple, factual question; maybe I didn't come right out and ask it, but here it goes again. If plan B exists, what is it? Source (and, possibly, date) please.

No. I don't know if you are aware of the existence of Google or even have the ability to browse back through the last few days of this topic, but it has been addressed time and time again. The evidence is there, I'm not wasting my time anymore pandering to broken records!

Where's the legal advice on Europe? You know the one that Salmond and sturgeon claimed to have then spent £20k of taxpayers money suppressing the fact that they didn't?

Where's the second oil boom that Salmond et al said would happen? Even though output is declining?

Where's the currency union that they said would happen? It would appear that the others involved have said no?

Where's the guarantee of admiralty work on the Clyde? BAe seems to not be too sure.

I did Google your question, but my eyes are a bit poor so I hadn't been sure if I'd read it right. Effectively, this is what I got:

Salmond: English imperialist pigs! If this referendum goes through, we want out, but we want to use the pound just like you do and have a say in whether it goes up or down. Is that A-OK?

Westminster: HELL NO!

Salmond: That's okay, we'll use it anyway, whether you're A-OK with it or not.

Westminster: Up yours.

Anyone on the NO side know how they could very easily win this referendum tomorrow, with one joint statement? I do, and it would be very simple, but thankfully they won't, due to their inability to work together, despite their 'Better Together' name.

Good for you.

Why do you keep asking the same questions that have been discussed time and time again?

You ask for guarantees, and there are none. We could remain in the UK and end up out of the EU. Oil is never guaranteed either way, but we sure ain't getting any benefit!

Very laconic. So that's what the great, mythical Plan B was---to continue to use the pound illegally?

No, what you've done there is the ever pitiful NO trick of only considering the evidence that suits you, even though a 10 year old could find it in 2 minutes using Google.

Salmond neglects to understand that a currency union, even if entered into illegally/unofficially in such a way, is also illegal by EU rules.

Alex Salmond, a politician that has remained at the forefront of politics in Scotland way longer than everyone else and who is First Minister of Scotland, and also an economist by trade needs lectured by an anonymous internet troll? Sure sure!

A newly independent Kingdom of Scotland (NIKoS) would be a member of the European Union, the European Economic Community, the European Currency Union, and other such treaty organisations. The rules for such a member dictate that new states upon accession adopt the common market currency (the European euro) as legal tender to the exclusion of other currencies; the United Kingdom had a one-time exception, but the NIKoS would not be subject to that exception and would have two choices:

1) Pledge to adopt the common market currency and set a date for its adoption;
2) Exit the European Union.

This is why Norway is not yet in the EU, and this is probably why the NIKoS would have to exit the EU, since it is already a member.

Because I never get them answered?

Can you explain how we don't get the benefits of North Sea oil now?

Nope! Keep agreeing with yer NO mates if it cheers you up though. Can't be bothered arguing with a broken record.

Constantly asking the same questions over and over when given explanations and using only the information that fits your agenda. I call that broken record, but yer entitled to yer own opinion.

Most of the questions you ask, you even know the answer yerself already!

When even The Daily Mail is getting worried, people should maybe accept YES has the momentum!

So where was the legal advice on the EU that Salmond claimed he had?

I really don't care!
