I don't think now is the time in all honesty. I mean - first and foremost I think "the time" was 2014 but we didn't get past the post... But putting that out of the equation... There's just too much uncertainty with Covid to be going down this route in the next few years.
I largely agree that she just has to make "independence noises" because it's such a big part of the platform the SNP campaign on... And their voters aren't Tory voters so they can't run an election campaign and then immediately disregard the cornerstones as soon as they get into power and expect no one to notice or care. |

Scotland don't have nearly the same revenue from oil and gas that they had at the time of the last ref, so their means of financing are further reduced. They could of course still go independent, but it wouldn't be a particularly smart move from an economic perspective.

Very Good Point the SNP leader has to explain how she can sort out Funding her nation, alone? |

the supply coming from the north sea now is much less than a decade ago, so it's less revenue. The scottish government also have a green policy so its very difficult for oil companies to bring new fields online

My current answer by the way is that I'm no longer sure. The current global political landscape is ... a bit all over the place at the moment. In all honesty I'm not convinced any of it is going to be particularly relevant in 50 years time.
Indy would have been right for Scotland, 30 years ago. We'd be sat on an oil fund that would exceed Norway's and in a great position to tackle the 21st century. But now... I dunno. The window of opportunity may have long passed. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 21-02-2022 at 09:13 PM. |

There are other energy avenues that Scotland could utilise. They have islands first wind, water or solar?

Well we invested in North Sea gas and that's only lasted what, 60yrs?.. so if the wind and the waves keep moving for that long where's the harm?
