My take on it is I wud happily pay a bit more to run our own country. Just like I wud happily watch a dees team filled we local lads on a budget we cud sustain.
Downsize is the only way both wud work I reckon but it wud in time get better.
The world's finances are mental in reality. The yanks owe trillions yet are classed as one of the richest countries, yet we still have kids dying through hunger.
Work that ane oot.
