It's hard to reconcile a "positive argument" with the ordinary definition of jingoism. "Jingoism is patriotism in the form of aggressive foreign policy.[1] Jingoism also refers to a country's advocation of the use of threats or actual force, as against peaceful relations, either economic or political, with other countries, in order to safeguard what it perceives as its national interests. Colloquially, it refers to excessive bias in judging one's own country as superior to others—an extreme type of nationalism." ---------- Post added at 23:40 ---------- Previous post was at 23:15 ----------

Moving their headquarters might not necessarily involve a physical move. As I understand it (and I may well be wrong) in the event of a "Yes" vote they could move their HQ's for the purposes of legal entity recognition to England (or Wales / Northern Ireland for that matter) by registering under the Overseas Companies Regulations 2009.

EDIT.

The Lloyds banking Group contact page makes for interesting reading. It already has HQ addresses in London & Halifax.
