    Ok we get you think it will be the Panama solution but it's just as likely as CU. No-one knows until they sit down and start negotiations. It might be the Euro too. We'll just have to wait and see.

      Reuters claimed on the day of a yes vote at least £2.5 billion in the vaults would by necessary to maintain day to day operations. Currently there's about £450 billion in deposits in Scottish banks.

      More people care about Scotland joining the EU than those that do living in Scotland. That's what I hear from those Germans I speak too. Which is the poplar opposite picture the 'no' camp has been painting.

        Personally I'd love Scotland to be using the euro. It would make my life much easier.

          It does make you wonder why a small country like Ireland with its STV system is run on behalf of the bankers, shoving national debt onto the voters.

          You will still end up with tulip politicians making tulip decisions and betraying the electorate, but I guess at least it will be your own tulip.

          Shame about the 25,000 jobs that unix estimates will go just in relation to the banking sector, but what price freedom?

              Hilarious. Best one yet. Keep 'em coming; it'll be a quiet day in the office otherwise.

I read an article the other day where it was said they agreed to talk in the event of a No vote to get an agreement much like we've been promised more powers by people not in the postion to grant them. So far, no agreement has been reached and it's caused frustration in Quebec. I'll try and find a link.
                      OG - Before anyone starts I know it's a Yes supporting website but the letter is genuine from someone from Quebec.

                      Wings Over Scotland | A letter from Quebec

                      "Here, the term “Night of the Long Knives” was used to refer to the night of November 4, 1981, when the Prime Ministers of Canada and its provinces agreed in complete secrecy to sign the patriation of the Canadian Constitution – and did so, literally and purposefully, behind Quebec’s back. In the end, the much hyped “offers of extra powers” and “position to dictate terms” amounted to nothing.

                      To this day, the Canadian Constitution lacks Quebec’s signature. We are still in a constitutional limbo more than thirty years after our first referendum. However, all things considered, these are technicalities"
