    EWNI will just refuse a CU.

      It is really simple. EWNI says No to CU. Why would they say yes?

        I think with the economy growing nobody will be bothered soon.

          Quebec has had no repeat since 1995. I guess it will be once every generation or something similar.

            Today's FT editorial reads: "Empires and nation states are not immune to break-up, but there is little precedent for
            a hitherto stable modern democracy splitting apart in peacetime, ."

            A democracy that had no say in the privatisation of the royal mail, the mass surveillance of citizens, yadda yadda

            Lets check out peacetime credentials:

            2014, Iraq / Syria
            2011, Libyan intervention
            2003 - 2009 Iraq War
            2001, War in Afghanistan

              We did have a say; we elected those who misrepresent us.
              I say again, this is not a problem with the Union.

                It will come down to the negotiating teams to agree. I don't think you will have a referendum on it to have your say

                  Indeed. Sounds like Animal Farm all over again.

                    And accept the Scotland's share of the debt in the process?

                      Why would EWNI agree to CU? Salmond thinks they would have to because "currency union would be the sovereign will of the Scottish people ". But that is of course nonsense.
