Re: Will Scotland Leave the UK?
Even if this mythical financial settlement involved Scotland not having to pay back their share of the UK public debt, for which they are disproportionately responsible, doesn't explain away how they would they reduce their deficit, which was running at 8%(that includes oil) in normal times. Are they expecting England to keep bailing them out for all eternity?
If any mythical economic improvements, which haven't for some strange reason happened so far, took a generation to produce results, that would be just in time for oil revenues to tail off even more.
