I work in the oil industry in Scotland, we’re managing fine just now and I can’t see how being independent will change that. We would need to import some food but what country doesn’t? At least we’re sufficient in water. Unlike our nearest neighbour. No water meters up here.
With regards to electricity by 2020 Scotland’s ONSHORE wind turbine capacity was generating enough electricity for every household in the country three times over. And there’s more capacity coming online which was delayed by the pandemic.
I’m hearing a lot of the usual too wee, too poor, too stupid stuff which is just nonsense. No country has all the resources and knowledge it requires but it can be found. Ireland undoubtedly had tough times in the 70s but once it became less reliant on the UK for its trade it has thrived. They actually deal more with America than the EU now.
I’m curious why people who have no stake in Scotland and aren’t likely affected by its affairs want to retain the present UK setup?
Put yourself in a Scottish voters perspective. Come the general election we cast our votes and get what the voters of another country elect as the UK parliament. It’s basically a waste of time.
As an Englishman would you not prefer to have England be governed by an English parliament and not have to be concerned about what other countries are up to? Does an independent England not hold any appeal?
