It appears the Scottish National Party have launched their 'Yes' campaign before we know what the question is going to be on Scottish independence. The Scottish and Westminster parliaments are yet to even agree on which consultation (there are to be two) is going to be valid.

We should just change the question to: 'Do you want Scotland to remain part of the Union?' to stuff their campaign.

Scotland will be a new country and if it wants to remain part of the EU, means they have to adopt the Euro. That's going well at the moment.


If they don't want to remain part of the EU, they can launch their own central bank and currency, which  is fine. But I'm not sure how much haggis and whiskey they could export to keep their currency value stable.


Also, what would happen to all the Scots in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who don't want to go independent? Would they be forced back north of the border? Would they have to have a Scottish passport? If Scotland were to apply to EU, they wouldn't be able to levy additional domestic taxes on these 'Scots'.

Part of me wants them to try and fail miserably, because I think the minds behind it are all excellent campaigners but poor policy makers subsidized by the rest of the Union.
