Video: Why an independent Scotland would be financially better off

Sapphire

Do we really need so many threads about this subject?

P.S. Ooops – just noticed that others had made exactly the same remark…

I'm also getting p!seed off with numerous Independence threads.

Scotland is currently still part of the UK and has a valid place in discussing the impact to the Economy both for an Independent Scotland and for the RoUK

Once the decision is made. Then the RoUK can have it's say.

As we can decide what sort of relationship we want. Not be told what we have to give.

Given the UK is still running a £100 billion deficit as a whole. With a whole raft of wider issues far from resolved. All this talk of boom times ahead in Scotland are somewhat optimistic and misplaced to say the least.

Other instances of incessance on this board are called out in due course. It's textbook deflection on your part to try to turn attention to them in order to try to distract from or justify your own wrong doing.

Interesting...

I have raised three different topic threads on Independence in the last 16 days which are on this forum front page.

Meanwhile......

House Prices - 8 related threads on the first page

• Just been told that the market is cooling in SW London
• When will the correction come to house prices?
• How to bring down London house prices (LSE Blog)
• World Must Act To Stop Another Massive Housing Crash, Warns IMF
• Are new houses really needed ?.
• It's simply supply and demand - or is it?
• Knock of effects of a house price crash in London
• £1000 of Free House Price Information Each (merged)

Maybe these should all be collated together.
I look forward to you calling out these "incessance" instances

It's interesting the clamor to merge Independence topics but not house price, interest rates (Carney) or Government support Schemes

Considering how desperate Scotland is to get away from us, maybe we ought to stop giving them the £1,600 extra (I believe) per head, maybe they will decide to stay with us when they realise they may have to start paying for university education and prescriptions.

I personally can't see why the whole of the union does not get a vote on the independence of Scotland, or is Scotland afraid that the vote would be an overwhelming goodbye to the dead weight around our necks?

Once this is all over, can we please have an English parliament.

That's why the Forum is called Debate House prices and the Economy, not Debate House prices the Economy and Scottish Independence.

Do you not think the outcome of the Scottish Independence Referendum has a direct impact on the Economy?

I do, hence this must be the correct forum to debate such economic topics

Later today John Swinney and Danny Alexander will both pitch their economic arguments to a conference organised by an accountancy body.
Scottish independence: Referendum campaigns stress economy

I trust this resolves your query as to why these are discussed here.

That's an interesting concept.
Why then are the Better Together parties so keen to keep the union?
There has to be a reason. Please give your thoughts on why if Scotland is a burden to the UK, that keeping the Union is best for RoUK.

The facts are that Scotland has a better GDP than the RoUK bar London and the South East.

They want to keep Scotland to help support the rest of the RoUK regions.

I think the point is it is uninteresting.

Maybe they should. Whether they are or not, or should or should not be so, it does not affect whether threads on independence should or should not be.

Or alternatively you could stop attempting to deflect the attention to other instances in an attempt to avoid notation of your own.

Yet I recall many comments criticising the repeated nature of posting patterns when they become objectionable for their incessance.

If there are no economic benefits of the union for both parties sharing a small Island, why do you want to join the EU?

If you want your own 'Scottish' immigration policy free from the English why are you will to let Brussels run it instead?

There is only one answer.
