      It would be a fallacy according to what Alex Salmond wants. 1) He would share a currency with rUK, rather than having an independent currency. 2) He would re-enter the EU and cede power to a federalist Brussels. Doesn't sound very independent to me.

        Well maybe, but he might make it more of a Lounge question if he asks about whether the independent Scottish banks should upgrade from Fortran and Cobol. ;P

            Just saw in the news that there will be a voting on the 18th this month about the future of Scotland. All you Scotlanders here - what would you say? Yes or no?

            I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

            I hope that Scotland does not vote to leave the Union .But if they do vote yes then there is no way they can keep the pound . It is the same argument for the UK keeping out of the Euro , can't have Johnny Foreigner affecting the currency now can we .On a similar note Spain will object to them getting automatic entry into the EU in order to deter the Basques . Salmond can bleat all he wants about negotiations , but if Scotland do want independence then they ain't getting the pound and they ain't getting the Euro.

              Big waste of time and taxpayers money though it would solve the West Lothian question once and for all.

                      Actually the ones fighting in this moment are the catalans, not the basques. IMHO basques are just waiting to see if the others just sink in the middle of the sh1t or actually manage to stay above the surface. Then depending on the result, start b1tching to follow them.

                        Psst, it was a union not an invasion. Also, if anyone was the usurper, it was the Scots taking over the English crown and not the t'other way. To be fair the vote should be in England & Wales to leave Scotland. ;P

                          You should see the situation more from an open source point of view. If nobody has the guts you end up with giants producing shitty products. BTW they have Scots Whiskey what else do you need ?

                            No, because that's what they use when voting in the British Parliament.

                              Well, since they won't have any money, does it really matter what currency it's in?

                                Scots may have Whiskey, but they'd keep quiet about it. Now Whisky on the other hand ...

                                  I doubt that the Scots will ever leave the UK. Who would they complain about? :D

                                    Come to think of it to be save should talk about the Encapsulation of Scotland and a creating a Singleton government instead of independent Scotland.
