Salmond "We can take Scotland in two weeks"

[Old Greg]

MY point was it's cheaper then the UK, and Sweden is a small country, this destroyed your niave economic arguments.

HTH

I thought your point was that it is cheaper in Sweden despite higher taxation rates, whereas in fact it is because of subsidies funded by taxation.

Are you really a nationalist, or one of these unionist trolls I've read about?

Friday could be an amazing day, with a Yes vote you will see Miliband, Cameron and Clegg all being forced to resign. I have taken the day off to watch the momentous day

You mean you don't work from home on Friday?

[Batcher]

errr the Scotland Bill passed unanimously, even the SNP voted for it. The Tories are even more committed than Labour to further devolution.

Anyway - it's not an issue for you is it?

If you got all the devolution on offer would you vote No?

No, I would not vote No. Why would I vote No to get less powers that a Yes would give?

Scotland is the richest nation ever to go for independence. If the situation was reversed there is no way Scotland would vote to join the Union.

Of course not. Independence is the way to go. But please be honest about the risks.

New to the USA pal?

[Batcher]

Can I ask the "Yessers" this question:


What does "Fair" mean to you?

Someone who is not quite blonde.

[Old Greg]

New to the USA pal?

Were the colonies that rich when they declared independence?

[Batcher]

New to the USA pal?

No but I think we're richer than the USA was when they went independent. It was over 200 years ago, you know

[Old Greg]

Agreed. This is a a very different process as well, and it's hard to find parallels. At the other end of the spectrum Australia, Canada and New Zealand achieved independence much more gradually, avoiding the currency, capital flight risks etc.

and all those examples were a long time ago in a world without anything like the Global markets we have today.

..... my main gripe with the Yes campaign is its inability to recognise the considerable pain that would follow a Yes vote and their total and abject failure to address the issues years ago.
