Originally posted by Unix View PostYep, you can't take assets and not take the debts. If we can't use the pound we aren't responsible for its debt. Do you think in a divorce the wife could claim the house and refuse the husband entry AND also expect them to pay the mortgage?

if the debt is shared e.g. she / he runs up the joint account / credit card before divorce.
Spouse's debts
so given Scotland is so rich and subsidising the rest of us when do we get maintenance and can you take on the debt please?Comment

Originally posted by Batcher View PostJean-Claude Juncker is sympathetic to Scotland joining. Would they really discard 5 million or so EU citizens out and ask them to rejoin behind Albania, Iceland, Montenegro, Serbia, Turkey and Macedonia? Especially when they are in control of these resources?
BBC News - Scottish independence: Jean-Claude Juncker 'not referring to Scotland'
10 key economic facts that prove Scotland will be a wealthy independent nation : Business for Scotland.
You should also note that:- Juncker has also stated that Scotland would not be entitiled to the rebate which the UK currently has.
- Clause 48 entry may well be opposed by Spain, Belgium and France
- Cluase 49 entry will require us to leave and then reapply. reapplying would require us to take the Euro.
- Germany has stated that if Scotland defaults on its debt then that would be incomptabile with EU mambership.
- The EU has stated that sharing sterling would require a Scottish goverment to hold vast quantities o cash in reserve as we would not have a central bank.
Voye 'Yes' - but understand the risks.Comment

Originally posted by Unix View PostDo you think currency union means currency?

No currency union means we can't access all that money, which are assets.
Vote yes with your heart, but let your head grasp the true implications. You may decide that it's still worth it - but really denying the risks is crazy.....Comment
