EU's chief negotiator agrees that independent Scotland would gain automatic entry

[scooterscot]

Given that Scotland runs a budget deficit of approximately 9-15% of GDP at the moment I think letting them go without any of the debt would be equally entertaining....

That would be awesome. Blotted Scottish public services would return south overnight (the majority of which operate to service the UK). Private sector growth grows. All win.

Think tank report claims independent Scotland could save billions in assets

A LEFTWING Scottish think tank

[The Spartan]

Not as bad as the UK wide £65 billion deficit.

Which equates to around 4% UK GDP, whereas if you just look at Scotland it's 9.5% GDP and then compare that to Greece where their's 7.2% GDP. It still doesn't look any rosier for Scotland

All immaterial anyway as there are too many Scots that will once again vote to stay as a part of the UK.

No boost in support for Scottish independence despite Brexit, new poll finds


Back to the drawing board for wee Jimmy Krankie and her shortbread-tin socialists.

All immaterial anyway as there are too many Scots that have some brains and vote to stay as a part of the UK.

Why not?


The EU may as well take another country with a high ratio of debt vs. GDP
