Jasbar im posting facts concerning the case for independence but your argument for the union centres around handing over power to Europe instead of the union, its my belief if we join the EU and only after another referendum the political power we will have based on the amount of energy we could produce, Scotland will have an equal standing and not only within the EU but potentialy worldwide, i base that statement on the presumption that if Scotland's power could be connected within Europe to the African Solar Programme, the two combined could produce all of the Worlds energy needs, at the moment Scotland can produce 25% of all Europes energy needs but trust me the technology is not that far away to connect to the biggest renewable energy programme known to man, i believe what i hear and read as the writers and talkers are world renowned in their feilds, you on the other hand as an advocate of using the European Human rights act to de-restrict the taxi trade have a problem with Scotland going down the European road once independence has been won, a bit hypocritical me thinks, Jasbar your not in the debate you only spout pash and time and again, your not interested in reading the facts and figures, you don't seem to grasp that all the unionist political parties have no argument to defend the union other than the romantic argument, where as us Nationalist's have in your words all the tools of the trade.
Keep trying though
I bet your English, if he or she could be bothered to read this tripe, wished that you'd kept "trying" as you put it.
Anyway what you're saying is airy fairy.
Even if we could produce 25% of Europe's energy requirements, do you honestly believe the other nations would allow us to? You really believe that Dougie?
In any case, if we really could do it under the yoke of Brussels, then there's no reason we couldn't do it from our position in the union.
Now get my position right Dougie. I'm not saying that independence may not be the best way forward for Scotland.
But what's on the table is NOT independence. It's simply a transfer of power from one power base to anothe one.
Think of it like a tenant being allowed to change his landlord.
Nothing more, nothing less.
He would still be a tenant, but the new landlord would be able to rewrite his tenancy agreement.
I see no difference with faux-independence.
How the feck could we do it from within the British union, the Mc Crone report, you have read it
The British government would syphon the revenue in one way or another, the only way is to control the wealth as an independent Nation and invest that money in education, job creation/training etc and a better way of life for all to benefit from, even you in your old age will benefit or are you fliting south
