    In the times and other papers today, Cameron will only offer the smith commission, SNP cannot make any further demands to this as they dont have any clout, so its smith or FFA which they cannot accept given the hole that will leave in Scottish fiances forcing Sturgeon et all to go along with imposed cuts or make their own cuts as they now lack any real leverage to extract lesser austerity cuts in Scotland. Its obvious STurgeons strategy was based on forcing a minority Labour government to do a "deal" with them...well all bets are off and that smile will soon be gone from Nicola's face as one headline puts it.. people will soon wake up to the fact that 56 MPs count for nowt. Just do the arithmetic Cameron holds all aces...not sour grapes but hard political arithmetic...Cameron has to hold a EU referendum and if England votes to leave, Sturgeons run in to full independence is on....but what will that mean...net effect is we still will have a huge economic hole...so we are cornered...we could face .Greece with dour driech dampness !!

    Nope, as the referendum debate proved, Scotland's people and resources will pull her out of recession much faster than the rUK. It makes little sense to say that the overcrowded and resource deplete UK can do a better job when 5 million Scots with 30% of the UK's land mass with all its resources and oil couldn't.
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    Your arguement is based on arithmetic and pre supposes growth as well as economic management

    What people are you referring to and what resources ?

    How could the 55% have confidence when every news outlet was scaremongering?

    Like you, I can only speak for myself, but it didn't scare me.

    I confidently don't want Scottish independence.

    It wouldn't scare you if you wouldn't consider the possibility to any depth.

    Perhaps if questions had been answered or if the economy had not been based on the oil revenue at $120 a barrel which has since imploded.
    Thank heaven for 55% of us who were sensible enough not to blindly step off the cliff into bankruptcy.

    I suppose I am scared of drowning, if that's what you're talking about in that enigmatic epiphet.
