Thats ok Secrets .... You can hitch a ride!
Again for those who are interested have a look at the paper produced recently Scotland's Economy- the case for Independence
http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2013/05/4084 as a starting point. Then have a look for Secret's business leader and see what you find. There are plenty of business people happy to stay. Have a look at what the Westminster government says about oil when they are not talking about Independence and you will find a positive, upbeat and optimistic approach to the industry. Check out the inward investment record and focus of the Scottish Government. Despite being warned by Alistair darling, that the referendum and independence will put off businesses investing in Scotland, inward investment continues to rise. No sign of businesses being put off then.
Ducati talked about lies earlier. It could be said that Secrets in symmetry lies when he says "economic failure would be inevitable". Secrets never offers any evidence or any signposts to evidence to support his pronouncements. Scotland is in a good position to have a healthy economy.
Phil says that the idea that the Government of an Independent Scotland being more accountable to the Scottish Electorate is fantasy. He is mistaken. It will be more accountable for what it does than the westminster government because we will be able to vote it out of office. Currently the votes cast in Scotland make utterly no difference to the result of uk wide elections. In every one of the general elections since WW2, the result would have the same regardless of Scotland's votes. Scottish voters cannot vote out the current government, our voice makes no difference in the clamour that is UK politics. In an Independent Scotland we will have the government that the Scottish Electorate votes for every time and perhaps more importantly we wont have a government that we dont elect forced upon us.
That isnt fantasy it is FACT.
