I see after many thousands of posts we're still being told Scots will vote to put 500,000 jobs at risk for the price of 120,000. Mind you if everyone's maths in the pro indy support is as good as some on here that's quite believable...

I imagine that there's scope for balancing the risk, perhaps some kind of half way compromise or trading union ( EFTA/EEA).

2016 was a record-breaking year of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Scotland, according to the latest annual survey into FDI attractiveness published today by EY. The 2017 EY Scotland Attractiveness Survey shows that Scotland has retained its position as the top location in the UK outside London for foreign direct investment (FDI).

Paul Lewis, managing director of Scottish Development International, said: “Scotland has a great track record as a location which holds tremendous appeal to international investors, so it’s heartening to see that position reinforced by the new EY survey, and it’s particularly welcome to hear that Scotland now wins over one in 50 of all investment projects into Europe.

In terms of geographical source of FDI projects, the top five countries investing in Scotland in 2016 were the US (43 projects / 35 per cent), France (14 projects / 11 per cent), Germany (7 projects / 6 per cent), Ireland (6 projects / 5 per cent) and China (5 projects / 4 per cent).

Scotland will be wanting to keep the above going as far as possible. Not walk away from it. Well, why would you ?

I think I know their secret weapon - they've employed Diane Abbott to work out everything :rotfl::rotfl:

Aye well look above for examples of the implacable stance they take for an example of the general degree of comprehension attained.

But you do want to walk away from it, don't you?
You want to walk out of the UK which aides this investment and into the unknown.

More BS from a Westminster bot who doesn't care one bit about Scotland.
An independent Scotland has everything to succeed and there is too much to lose by remaining in the UK.

Don't let the doom mongers with their alternative agenda wear you down.

The "doom mongers with their alternative agenda" includes you.
I'm a Scot & I agree wholeheartedly with TT83 and so do many more in this thread.
A "Fail" by sss555s then.

My agenda is what is best for Scotland in the long term. Random "fear" posts from someone who has nor will have anything to do with Scotland is a bit much.

What's your agenda?

This is very likely to be a new currency pegged to sterling short term.

Why would an IS wish to be linked to the fortunes of the very economy it is so very desperate to break away from. Particular as economic policies (it would appear) would be diametrically opposed. Be very difficult for a Scottish Central Bank to operate in such circumstances. The impacts of which could be potentially catastrophic.

My agenda also is what's best for Scotland.
Not the myopic perceptions of an incompetent party but a balanced, logical and competent long-term plan.

Random "fear" posts about Scotland are not the sole domain of those who have or will have anything to do with Scotland, as is obvious from this thread. Decrying non-Scots posters does your cause no good and in honesty the pro-indy faction needs all the goodwill it can get.
You carry on though, it further increases positive perceptions of Unionists and their cause.

The first sentence is a lie.

The second sentence is a lie.

The third is also a lie.

There is only one side of this debate that has 'alternative' truth. The other deals in absolute honesty.

It gives me some solace to see you're so paranoid that you call me a Westminster bot rather than what I actually am which is a concerned British citizen. As if I were somehow in the employ of Westminster to sow uncertainty within your ranks on purpose. A cute fantasy, but that is all it is.

Your whole post above was a lie! There is no proof to what you call facts.

Scotland would do very well in the long term as a 5m+ nation. I don't understand why you have a problem with that.
