- How much it will cost to set up an independent Scottish inland revenue, welfare system etc. etc.
- How all the promises are going to be paid for if, as expected by pretty much everyone, oil revenues drop off
That's just off the top of my head. To simply brush off legitimate concerns raised as bullying or scaremongering is an appalling way to run such an important campaign. |
They are "unknowns" Derek. All of these things are set to be discussed after the referendum outcome - that was the agreement as was signed up to.
I'm not defending the nats but given this constant "you can't", "you won't" attitude from the pro union parties and others I can understand why some people on one side see it as bullying.
Post referendum (whatever the outcome) negotiation was always the way these things were to be and will be decided.
To state otherwise in advance of the outcome is exactly as you have described it. "Scaremongering" and in the eyes of some an attempt at "bullying".
