This minor (!) point never seems to get mentioned when discussing whetehr Scotland could stand on it's own two feet economically.
That’s a fair point. The whole affair seems ridiculously complicated.
As a separate country would not everything need to be renegotiated? Currency, trade, taxation, defence, investments, free movement etc, the implication seem huge yet AS seems to paint the picture that the separation would be straight forward.
Surly there is a better solution to the issue than an complete split, it almost makes me think that the driving factor for independence is not about creating a better environment for the Scots but more so the mentality of being free from the English.
To me this seem crazy as no county is truly free to behave totally independently nowadays.
