How do you work that out?
By ignoring things which serve the whole UK?
Defence, Overseas Aid, Diplomacy, Central govt?

The figures are calculated the way they are.

Why do the unionists leave to oil out of their figures?

Wouldn't be to make us think we are subsidised would it?

Just for you youropinioncounts

from the SNP website circa 2006

SNP Leader Alex Salmond has today called for Scotland to join northern Europe's arc of prosperity, with Ireland to the west, Iceland to the north and Norway to the east all small independent countries in the top six richest nations in the world. In comparison, the UK is 14th and devolved Scotland 18th ! with similar, oil rich Norway over £12,000 per person better off.

Speaking in Edinburgh today Mr Salmond committed an SNP government to deliver a range of pro-enterprise policies designed to support Scotland's wealth creators and bring greater prosperity across the nation. Mr Salmond said that with an SNP government elected in May next year and a vote for independence within the first term of that government, Scotland would be on track to raise wealth per head by £4000 a year within 10 years, compared to continuing in the UK.

Only EEC country with no deficit.

Figures could have changed, we would still be richer though.

Would not be like the unionist to spin figures their way.

I have been to them all except Norway and I can assure you Finland is nothing to laugh about.

What happens if the majority of Scotland vote against Independence but the Hebrides vote overwhelmingly for, will Alex Salmond grant their wish or would he force them to stay?

He's got about as much power and authority to do that as you and I have
