Rubbish. Scotland lacks levers to run an economy in the interest of Scotland.

While I agree there’s some in Scotland who have their social attitudes a couple of hundred years out of date it’s a ridiculous claim to say that Scotland would become a third world country because of living conditions in the 18th century. While there may well be a positive case for the Union I’m sure most forum members would accept that’s patently not one.
