I want Scotland as part of the Union. As I have said, in todays world economic power is everything and Scotland creates £131bn of the UK's total GDP of £1.45tn, approx 9%. This is significant as if you lose 9% of our GDP, we'd be toe to toe with Italy in the GDP stakes, that's a serious loss of power.
Also, how do you carve up of British diplomatic embassies around the world? The 1/3 of our armies which are Scottish? New constitutions for both areas? What to do with North Sea oil, where are the border boundaries? New tax effects on businesses and people? Scottish University funding? The list is endless and as so, is extremely expensive.
Independence is not a viable option at this moment in time and Alex Salmond and his SNP like to stay quiet when asked about the costs of independence. Obviously it'd cost billions but he wouldn't want his notoriously cheap ass citizens to realise this would he.
