This is the real world not the ‘Brigadoon’ country that the pro independence supporters seem to think it will be.
Even if they are allowed to rejoin their ‘precious’ EU they will be governed by the faceless bureaucrats at Brussels.
At least an independent Scotland will not have to worry about which currency they will have to adopt. It will be the Scottish Groat until they they can get their current deficit down to 3% of their GDP they will have to join the Euro.
The ‘one size fits all’ Euro is hopeless for most countries in the EU as they are governed by the Euro exchange rate. Individual countries throughout the EU cannot float the Euro to suit their own country’s financial needs.
Or it would just be the pound.
