[quote][i]Originally posted by Dom[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by John[/i] You've seen the opinion of 1 person in the news today.[/quote] If Rick is talking about the interview on the BBC, then it was the European Commission President - would say his opinion is a bit more valuable than a load of users on a corsa forum :lol: [quote][i]Originally posted by rustyarchs[/i] -The bank of Englands governer has said yes we can use it -We don't need permission to use sterling if the worst comes to the worst however it is in the best interests of everyone to get permission and for it to be worked out[/quote] I'm assuming you're referring to Mark Carney, the BoE govern[b]o[/b]r? He's offered very little in terms of opinion on the currency debate apart from stressing, in his speech a few weeks back, how important it is for an independent Scotland to be apart of the Currency Union - which is true. Whilst an independent Scotland doesn't need our 'permission' to continue with the Pound, not being part of the Currency Union would put it in a similar situation as Ecuador where it has little input into monetary policy of the USD - your (less than) 9% share of BoE wouldn't mean a huge amount. And similarly without the Currency Union, an independent Scotland would be shooting itself in the foot with regards to joining the EU with hurdles like ERM (unless an independent Scotland gets inducted upon independence; which case i believe you'd get around the requirement for needing a two-year stabilised currency). Either way, i don't doubt the Treasury are attempting to bluff their way to a 'No' vote but if they do decide to go through with it then it wouldn't be as rosy as you're suggesting, rather it'd put an independent Scotland somewhat up shit creek without a paddle. Although tbf, both countries need to be part of the Currency Union as badly as each other :lol: [/quote]
