Blair: former RBS chairman's support for SNP is 'absurd'
"It's absurd to say that there is not going to be a cost and a penalty - particularly when the SNP have got unfunded commitments, proposals for a local income tax, and when our two economies are so closely integrated."
An independent Scotland with the SNP in power would have a financial "black hole" which would have to be filled by taxes equivalent to £5,242 per household. And that is only the first and most obvious problem.
Analysts, however, say it is highly unlikely the SNP will win a majority and that independence is a distant prospect. To govern, the SNP would probably need to form a coalition with another major party and they all support the 300-year old union between Scotland, England and Wales. Unfortunately, it is still a mistake to vote SNP - a local protest against B.Liar is fine, but there is a real worry that the joke could go too far.
Scotland would be doomed if it separated and would be something like Slovakia or Moldova, cursed by their self-imposed isolation.
Scotland is too small to stand on its own feet by international standards. 'The English' (or Thatcherite corruption) have spent the oil money. The whole of Scotland has the population of a large suburb of Bombay and I cannot see the EU as being much use to them, at least in the forseeable future. I think even Dahisar would do better than Scotland as an independent country ! [others confirm] The Brits have improved the place no end and you'd have to be an utter fool to want it run by the whining Salmond, who is preparing to give Scotland away to any medium size bunch of jackasses who want the place.
IMO: Toady is right for once.
