2 May Rob Murray said: Your partially correct, the SNP has no control or influence over oil prices its not their fault prices dived, it is their fault in trying to sell the public that oil would be $110 a barrel, then adding the clause, ah but oil is just a bonus, you can never budget on so volatile a commodity as history so clearly shows.
But you are ignoring the reverse side of the drop in oil prices. The economy benefited financially from the resultant drop in consumer costs. Petrol, food etc were all reduced significantly. The net loss to the UK economy was around 1% which is insignificant
