Scotland, like Croatia won't be required to adopt the Euro. Anyone arguing to the contrary is doing so from a novel position. Is DPB J.K.

Baxter Parp Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 So just a matter of degree then? We have the same number of MPs as our population suggests - did you want more? Or do you just want to live in a country where Scots are a majority? What happens when the Highlands, Islands or Borders starts to complain Edinburgh and the Central belt have too much influence & get too much? Replies not necessary as I do realise some of you are not interested in the risks involved in breaking up the union - you just want it broken!If you can pretend that the EU has the same power over it's members as Westminster has over Scotland, you can make any old shit up. I'm assuming you're not arguing in good faith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EU and the euro is controlled by Germany and France to the detriment of the southern nations. The euro exchange rate is low enough to help German and French exports but too high for Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal. I think I’d do some checking up into the workings of the EU before you commit Scotland to becoming involved, if indeed they accepted you. These smaller countries have benefitted greatly from the richer larger EU members, membership has seen their economies grow considering where it was before, being of the largest trading bloc in the world has seen them attract foreign investment, I witnessed generator testing in Tallin for a Singapore shipyard and was impressed by how modern and efficient the factory was, on a par with any western European establishment and in some I've visited it was in far better condition. All due to EU and foreign investment. Edited March 30, 2021 by SandyCromarty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 5 hours ago, GordonS said: Yes, that was exactly what my second scenario is - the Scottish Parliament legislates for a referendum, the UK government challenges it and the Supreme Court decides. That's why is said it's inside the legislative process. Number 3 would be something like the SNP organising it themselves using marked-up registers. There's nothing to stop you or I holding a referendum on anything any time we like. That's what Brian Souter did 21 years ago with his "do you hate gays?" campaign. As for simplistic - no. Just no. Ok? I simply don't accept your reading of the difference between the two scenarios nor the way you suggest it may play out. At the core of your point you suggested that if Johnson doesn't accept it, nobody else will. I'm not sure if Trump was accepting of recent events elsewhere so I'm not sure that the constructs of anti democratic demagogues will be seen as anything other than what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, so at some point you rejected your childhood teaching and decided to become small-minded, inward-looking, and xenophobic.

More bizarre is that his sentence literally means that he is an Irish nationalist. I suppose, when he was a child, his parents were too busy teaching him to be a bigot (who should stop playing with matches) that there wasn’t time to teach him how to construct sentences. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The worst kind of nationalism on display is the petty narrow minded 'rule britannia ' f**k off EU, brexity types...but this nationalism didn't count of course. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
