I am beginning to think that you are forever disagreeing because you read something and you interpret it as meaning the opposite. With Scottish independence, I am merely saying that the figures simply do not add up, and given the political stance of the SNP, I cannot understand why they think they can make it work.
Yes, I am sure there are solutions, but like the Venezualan government, they would find it unpalatable to grasp them. Not that I am saying they compare with the Venezualan government, of course.
In any future independence campaign, the opponents of separation need to ram home the fact that there is no economic argument for Scottish independence that would be acceptable to the SNP. That's why they don't want to talk about it.

Old Boy your seeming ignorance to Scottish politics knows no bounds. You continue to slur the SNP as 'left wing', you've dropped in a Venezuela reference just to cross another one off the bingo card.
It's unfortunately the fact you are so far to the right that you become apoplectic at the notion that the state more effectively carries out and funds some roles that private sector parasites drain as much profits as they can at unsustainable rates then come crawling back for corporate socialism.
Again I extent my invitation for you to come and share your ignorance with us next May.

But those areas still have lower wages, corporation tax, and property costs. What part of London and the South East were Northern Rock based in? Same goes for other building societies and banks.

Again what the SNP would vote for in London doesn't represent the economics of an independent Scotland.
You can run an economy in the interests of London and the South East with outliers. You present it as a zero sum game - as always a simplistic and straightforward narrative that doesn't consider the scale of what you are taking about.
