Scotland wants to leave the UK on 23:41 - Jun 24 by longlostjack | Naive? You're making an assumption. Anyone who can't distinguish facts from assumptions is a fantasist in my book. You provide the facts and I'll stand corrected. |
The facts; http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/euro/adoption/who_can_join/index_en.htm I really can't be bothered so I'll dumb it down. - Pounds for a while - Big, big cuts - jump through hoops - switch to Euros - a tiny little outpost of the United States of Europe who are bossed by the krauts for ever more....kidding themselves they're independent 'cos they can tinker around the edges - A currency which will be to strong for them - Their young leave to find decent work, but this time fewer wash up in London and a lot more move to Germany and end up looking, sounding like and living like Germans. So, they are merely swapping England as a big brother for Germany. | |

Scotland wants to leave the UK on 22:49 - Jun 24 by morningstar | What currency would they enter the EU under then? |
This really isn't that difficult. Scotland is already in the EU and uses the £ Uk will leave the EU in June 2018. Scotland votes for independence from UK in 2017. 1st January 2018 Scotland is independent(still in eu) using scottish £ , parity with English £. If bank of England don't agree just use currency substitution. June 2018 England and Wales sail.off using English £, Scotland remains in eu using scottish £. The Czechs and the slovaks managed It. Poland, Bulgaria, Denmark and others don't use the euro, why should Scotland? | |

Yeah, it's just that the SNP (the party who can't accept the result of the last Independence referendum and are demanding a new one) have been claiming that Austerity policies are not necessary and questioning the morality of any government in Westminster who ask them to make a few cuts. Yet they would create a situation that would result in cuts on an unprecedented scale in Scotland, dwarfing the cuts of the last 6 years....they'd do this tomorrow if they could. Do you not see a problem with that? ....and what if we agreed to them keeping the pound on their independence whilst they "converge" and force them to take their fair share of the national debt....how many years of radical cuts do you think the Scots would be forced to endure? Who's fault would that be? [Post edited 25 Jun 2016 0:46]

Some of that sounds speculative but its not really my business. It's down to them though it's their choice. They knew what was in the SNP manifesto when the elected them. It's the same with this EU referendum we just had. There are economic repercussions of brexit but it happened. | |

Scotland wants to leave the UK on 00:00 - Jun 25 by morningstar | I don't make assumptions, it's basic common sense. If you really believe that Scotland could enter the EU as a new member using a non members currency, then that is indeed the definition of fantasy. It's a totally different scenario to the Scottish independence referendum when the UK was part of the EU. I'm sure you can sit down and think about it sensibly if you want to. Honestly now, it's not worth debating. Scotland will be at the EU's mercy if it wishes to join as a new independent nation. |
Not worth debating? Well there you go that tells me all I need to know. The laws of gravity may not be worth debating but Economics and Politics is a different matter. At the EU's mercy ? Who are these faceless bureaucrats who form this evil empire. Ye gods. | |

Yeah and I bet they'll get a rebate as well. Scotland won't be the UK. They will have left the UK (who have left the EU) and be a new state who won't be anywhere near the 5 convergence criteria. Go back and read the link again. Of course the EU could choose to treat Scotland differently, let them break the rules (France gets away with it after all!) just to piss us off. Unfortunately that would piss Greece and some others off also [Post edited 25 Jun 2016 1:05]

Isn't that what the brexiters have been saying all along. The eu just make up their own rules in order to piss the English off. Well now they may have the chance to do just that. | |

That's a great paragraph fair play. Nothing of any substance in there of course, but well typed all the same. | |

Yes it will be at the EU's mercy. But they can join the EU and not be part of the Euro The UK did after all. The deal point here is would Westminster allow Scotland to use sterling? The answer to this should be the same as the EU 's stance towards us yesterday - "when you're out, you're out". Faced with that scenario /reality, would the Scots really vote to leave ? | |

The UK will have left before Scottish independence can come about. So yes, they will have to apply to join. Unless you think that Wales, England, Scotland and NI joined the EU separately. | |

The SNP is doing a good job for the Scots people until it turns to this independence nonsense... I was about to post something similar to your post... That's it in a nutshell, didn't want to leave the UK, then the UK voted to leave Europe... It's quite simple really. Or another example of "Keep voting till we get the right result?" | | | |
