I'm confused. Independent Scotland being independent of Westminster but joining the EU and having their wishes diluted by an even more remote executive? What is the substitute to fill the gap with the loss of the Barnett formula subsidy? At one point 'Scotland's Oil' would fund SNP aspirations. Now oil is a pariah and a replacement is needed but hasn't been named. Now if Scotland could begin to issue it's own currency backed by gold, that would be a way forwards for the wealth of the workers. Unfortunately no government wants that since it makes it harder for the bankers to rob the people blind by over-issuing currency, creating inflation, and then blaming it on 'greedy capitalists'. The dog and pony show goes on. Power to the rulers and poverty to the people!
