[quote][i]Originally posted by alan-g-w[/i] I mean Salmond wants to be the guy associated with Scotland gaining independence. He'd be the guy in the history books and the arrogant bastard would love it. It's not just the Tories who are speaking out. Labour and the lib dem shadow chancellors have spoken out saying they agree with Osborne's position. The reason the government have no blueprint for an independent Scotland is because they aren't even entertaining the fact it'll happen. I hate the Tories as much as any other Scot but they're doing the right thing - they don't want independence so why should they be planning for it? You talk about Labour then coming into power - where are Labour based as a political party? If you really think you wouldn't have influence still coming from Westminster you're dreaming. If an independent Scotland was a feasible option surely you'd have 3+ nationalist partys all wanting the same thing? I don't know how you can claim that the currency won't change peoples' opinions. Any nationalist I know wants the pound kept. Who in the right mind would want to either start using the Euro just now or, even riskier, a new currency altogether? It was in the news in the last couple of weeks that Salmond has guaranteed big business leaders repayment of debts in pound sterling rather than any toy currency he might decide to try out. There are a few advantages of independence. The disadvantages far outweigh them though. [/quote]
