Oh well, you may all just have to leave it to the Scots seeing as their intellecual/educational abilities have been proven consistently superior to their counterparts south of the border.

you've probably had more practice with your background!

I am confident they will, in the end, vote No, sense will prevail!

I'd probably register a no vote if still residing in my country of birth but still have sympathy for my compatriots not wanting to be governed by a set of Bullingdon bellends.

that is down to your personal politics, I don't want to have idiots like Brown and Darling anywhere near my country, but I don't have that choice.

Personally, I think they all need binning, not one of them is honest, personal agendas outweigh the good of the people.

Brown obviosly wasn't Prime Ministerial material but intellectually he's from a different stratosphere than Biil & Ben currently residing at No's 10 and 11.

And why, out of interest, are you so favourable in protecting the union when those north of the border are so, politically at least, disenfranchised from what you believe in?

because the Union works, the noisy minority in Scotland are in favour of independence, what about those that live in Shetland and would rather join Scandinavia?

Set up their own central bank & print it's own money. Simply peg it to the English £ for cross border trade, vary it as they choose for foreign exchange.

Join the euro & take advantage of the ECB.

Plenty of options avaialble.

All of them crap for either or both countries.

A currency union between Scotland and rUK would be like a euro zone comprising solely of Germany and Greece. Try selling that to the Germans

If Scotland pegs it's currency to the pound without a formal currency union it wouldn't be able to run a budget deficit of more than a couple of groats

A sterling currency union will not happen, the pound would collapse at the mention of the idea. Scotland's best option would be to join the euro, IF that could be achieved
