To most people, currency is what they have in their wallet. The pound is notes and coins, not the concept of inflation management or lenders of last resort. It will be hard to explain the consequences...

again, i give the voters of Scotland more credit. "We will have a currency that we cannot control, so changes will be made which are not in our best intererests" ought to be enough for many people. the populace doesn't have to understand, but they ought to want to know that someone who does, and who represents them, is in control.

the uncertainty will contribute to the victory for the "No"s.

Cameron quote while in Scotland yesterday

Prime Minister David Cameron revealed that he would not block an independent Scotland joining the EU, prompting claims that he would climb down over his warning that, if in power, he would block Scotland from sharing the pound.
