Scotland can use the pound but not as part of a currency union. If Scotland wants a currency union, it can join the Euro, like Ireland did. Alternatively, Scotland can use the pound without being in a currency union, like Ireland did before it joined the Euro.

It means Scotland's economic decisions will be made in London, like before independence, or in Brussels by the ECB once Frau Merkel has told the ECB what to do. If you want decisions made in Edinburgh, you'd need a new Scotland-only currency eg the groat.

Osborne is just pointing out that following independence, the rest of the UK is not prepared to bankroll the profligate policies of the SNP or any other party the Scots care to vote for.
Seems fair enough to me.

I'll be voting yes ideologically but the simple answer to that question is how do they know that this isn't as good as it will get? If Scotland lies in ruins in a generation having spunnked all the resources on madcap socialist vote buying a lot of people will be asking themselves questions.

You are one of the big proponents of the yes vote so perhaps you can answer this question:

Why would you vote for independence if that means your currency will be controlled by a foreign power?

Surely the only logical thing for an independent Scotland is an independent currency?
