Scotland - should they stay or should they go now

How are they going to leave?

Whose currency will they use?

Do some research for the requirements to join the Euro, that isn't happening any time soon, and why should we allow a country that obviously isn't even close to being financially self sufficient to use our £.

Even if a second referendum is granted, which it won't be any time soon as the terms of the first one were quite clear, once in a generation, the SNP will lose, again.

Under the existing rules Bas, the Euro can't accept Scotland, it's not even close to meeting the requirements.

They would pay a heavy price for re-joining the EU. Any move to do so would expose exactly what the SNP actually is, anti English first and foremost, pro Scottish a distant second.

To add some detail Bas, the bonkers SNP's position last I heard was to re-join the EU but with Sterling as their currency.

Problems that I remember off the top of my head are:

They are proposing to use the currency of a country that has a stated policy of divergence from the EU.

EU has it's own currency.

Scotland's own central bank would not be independent as defined by the EU and as demanded by EU rules and would not have power to affect policies such as altering interest rates.

Scotland's central bank, critically, would not be lender of last resort.

As long as they continued to use the £ Scotland's own central bank would not have powers that are requirements for EU membership, such as the ability to print money.

Then we could look at stability requirements, those include budget deficits. The requirement for joining the EU is that it must be below 3% of GDP, even before Covid struck Scotland's was around 9% of GDP. Of course, the SNP could hit the people with the Mother of all public spending cuts policies, otherwise they'll have to do something miraculous with their economy to meet membership requirements.

SNP are off their heads and it takes 1 minute of research to expose their policies.

2014 decided this one Oldie.

Referendum results must be respected.

Etc.

As in Parliament is sovereign?

Yep.
Said it before
Parliament can overturn any law at any time, with mandate given to them by the electorate. Nothing is fixed.

Leave. I'd give anything to be free from the shackles of Little Britain and the corrupt and evil ERG cult our country is currently run by and would jump at the chance if I were in their shoes. Scotland would find a way to overcome all the difficulties leaving the UK would bring on their way to rejoining the EU. Hopefully it will allow other bits or England that want to be in the EU a way to also become Scottish.

What??

It's those who have campaigned for and then monumentally fed up this monumentally stupid act of self harm who have created all the uncertainty. If Cameron had had a spine and had refused to call the referendum, then we'd have had as much certainty as is possible in our rightful place as full members of the EU. 

Time Brexit supporters owned the chaos they have caused

You can't even debate with that when your starting point is that it's our 'rightful place' to be within an institution that we entered into without reference to the electorate.

I'll pop you in the pot with Oldie as another who refuses to 'own' the harm inflicted in terms of trust in our democracy and damage done to our economy by 4 years of uncertainty.

Anyway, as you are here, care to comment on where the billions we pumped in to Erasmus may have vanished to? And whether being able to provide global opportunities for 35,000 students rather than 10,000, with those 10,000 all being tied to study within other EU member states, and being able to do that whilst providing support of up to £10,000 as opposed to the previous £3500, yet still at a fraction of the total cost, is part of the 'chaos' that I have to own?
