What the SNP (or any of the other parties quite frankly) would legislate for in the UK Parliament doesn’t necessarily equate to what they would do give the economic circumstances of an independent Scotland.

Your post is an entire red herring. You’re also ignoring the jobs that such companies would create - increased income tax, spending, VAT, and the full cycle of the economy that would be impacted.

Part of the UK aren’t great economically because they’re being failed by a London based Government that rules for the financial sector and the south east. I thought that’d be obvious?
