I like your thinking
All countries fund everything through tax receipts and borrowing - that stands to reason.

It's also true to say that GERS doesn't reflect what that amount would be. So the two statements I made aren't as contradictory as they appear.

It certainly needs better work on the matter than GERS.

I will say though that GERS is an age old argument - predates 2014. This line of argument isn't going to be 'news' to the 58%.
