Scottish Independence or Stealth devolution max

[Jerrico]

So Salmond wants to keep the pound sterling still having monetary umbilical cord to the Bank of England, nothing really changed England still the master of Scotland's destiny! So not total independence if you look at it more like Stealth devolution max.

No, not stealth devo max.

Because with devo max we would still have all the benefits of being in the UK.

Nato/EU/UN positions of power and veto, position on the G8, access to the wealth of the UK in the event of bailouts etc.

[Jerrico]

Any negotiations on a currency union would involve major concessions to Scotland and this would still benefit England.

I wonder what would of happen if Scotland was independence already and we went through the recession How Scotland bank etc would of held up?
