Your Plan B might be allowed.
Just stop the nonsense and be honest about the pound scots, maybe with a Sterling Peg. You'll get in the EU then, no problem and I think make a real go of it. But the dishonesty of the CU Plan A / Panama Plan B is shocking.

I just cant see our own currency being an acceptable solution, it would lead to massive instability. It is the euro or the pound and we wont have control of either. The whole thing is a absolute disaster.
I just don't think many of the nationalists understand this, they cant, nobody who understands the subject would vote for a plan which is really "lets see what happens".Comment

So, if we rise above the '**** off, you're a bunch of subsidy junkies' AND the 'We'll keep our oil and you'll be ****ed' brigade, and look at this sensibly........
Scotland CAN keep the pound (either by currency union or the panama model). England is (I think) Scotland's biggest export market and Scotland (i think) is England's second biggest export market, so, bearing in mind that and the balance of payments issues and GDP Vs debt issues, is the UK government not currently taking a piss on it's own birthday cake with the 'Definitely no currency union' stance, as a currency union, with terms agreed by both countries, not as much in the interests of rUK as it is for Scotland ? For a start, it would quell some market fears.Originally posted by minestrone View PostA new currency value would fluctuate wildly initially. Would be disastrous for business.Comment

You can peg but at some point it may become unsustainable and if your politicians don't realise in time you have a recession on your hands."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
