You are either lying to left wing voters, Scotland or my suspicion to both as it suits your needs and ideology.
Why would a company not relocate to Edinburgh with lower wages, lower corporation tax, and lower property costs in an independent Scotland?
As always your points are contradictory nonsense trying to get a rise out of others.
There are at least some forum members trying to make a considered case for the Union.

Seeing as the SNP, Labour, and the Lib Dems are all in favour of
increases in corporation tax, then talking about the benefits of lower taxes is a bogus argument. Anyway we're not talking about a few million extra or even a few hundred million extra, we're talking about several billion. If somehow lower wages, corporation tax, and property costs were the complete solution, then why are parts of the UK still not very great economically?
