".....how likely would the voters of Enlgand, Wales and Northern Ireland be to agree to underwrite the Scottish banking system and to allow the Scottish government to influence rUK tax policy?"

I don't recall the electorate being asked to agree to underwrite the British banking system.

It seems it's not always the case that the electorate are consulted on such matters. Surely Scotland could have a pound or currency pegged to the UK pound rate? The Falklands do it and they, Wales and NI all print their own banknotes which are pegged to the pound. Here in NI we can transact at point of sale in Euros or pounds sterling, Northern, Ulster, Bank of Ireland and First Trust notes (to name but a few). Whilst I'm not an economist I don't see why it would be such a stretch for Scotland to do likewise.
