WILLIEA Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 37 minutes ago, Bishop Briggs said: The currency issue will take longer to sort out. If the SNP wants a currency union, an independent Scotland will have to take on its share of the UK's debts. Without a currency union, an independent Scotland will need to set up its own central bank and currency. Then there are all the British regulatory bodies and government agencies. An independent Scotland would need to legislate for and set up its own equivalents. In the meantime, it would have negotiate contracts to use the UK's organisations. My guess is 3 to 5 years minimum. Scotland's divorce from the UK will be much more complex than Britain leaving the EU. You do know that nearly all Scottish bodies and agencies are already separate and operate independently? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have taxing powers and control how a lot of the money is spent. We get a fixed budget sent up from Westminster and about 10% of fiscal powers. Please explain how we can influence the national debt/interest payments of the UK and all the shite they borrow money for ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC90 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 10 minutes ago, Harambe Legion said: I never said we can influence that. By neither is it true that we "have no control over it" when the Scottish Parliament has some taxing powers. In fact it is complete nonsense. Not influencing it and having no control over it are the same thing. What you are arguing for is an increase in tax in Scotland to pay for Tory austerity. The debt will sill rise, our interest payments will still rise and London will get stronger and stronger to the detriment of Scotland and indeed the rest of the UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
