Not my argument, nor my forte either, but it'll be interesting to see how it plays out in the long run.
As I said it's a bunfight of claim and counter claim the reality of which nobody will know until after the fact. |
Either way I don't see Osbourne going back on what he said with a pending election. A UK Currency Union is not popular and the SNP have already made it clear they want to compete with the reminder of the UK but lowering corporation tax (paid for by the never-ending Oil money of course) to attract businesses from the UK to Scotland. We would be mad to help them achieve that.
