I agree with this analysis. As for a Boris Johnson majority government denial of a referendum, that might well be true , which will only accelerate the desire . The independence of Scotland is inevitable, it is simply a matter of when , there is no if !
In an independent Scotland the Scottish people would be governed by the government that the Scottish people l vote for and not be governed by the government that another country voted for.
🏴 Independence 2020 🏴 anyone who wants the best for Scotland’s future vote for the snp and Scottish independence. The SNP are the only party that have Scotland’s best interests at heart and are not going to totally disregard us, belittle us and waste our money down south which is what Westminister has been doing to us for years! Independence will lead us to a much brighter future where we will have all of our money coming here and not flooding down south left with the scraps can choose what we spend our money on for the bet? If Scotland became independent We could become a similiar Norway or Sweden with Abundnace of wealth and create a positive future for the people of scotland! My main question I ask people is why are England so keen to keep us if we bring nothing in? Here’s why- Scotland has a nominal GDP of $237.618 billion and our GDP per capita is $43,740 we export around 81.4 billion a year we have vast reserves in oil which made $266 billion in 2016 and also major gas reserves,zinc and iron. Assuming a geographic share, Scotland has by far the biggest oil reserves in the EU. Estimates on how much oil and gas is left in all of the UK's waters vary between 12 and 24 billion so people saying it’s gonna run out are speaking rubbish! Whisky is probably the best known of Scotland's manufactured products. Exports have increased by 87% in the past decade and it contributes over £4.25billion to the UK economy, making up a quarter of all its food and drink revenues Our agricultural fields are very strong with only one quarter of the land actually being cultivated as well as The economic activities generated by forestry in Scotland include planting and harvesting as well as sawmilling, the production of pulp and paper and the manufacture of higher value goods. The waters surrounding Scotland are some of the richest in Europe. Fishing is an economic mainstay in parts of the North East of Scotland and along the west coast, with important fish markets in places such as Aberdeen and Mallaig. Fish and shellfish such as herring, crab, lobster, haddock and cod are landed at ports such as Peterhead, the biggest white fish port in Europe, Fraserburgh, the biggest shellfish port in Europe, Stornoway, Lerwick and Oban 2014, over 15.5 million overnight tourism trips were taken in Scotland, for which visitor expenditure totalled £4.8 billion Scotland builds around 24,000 new homes per year, about 0.1% of its existing dwelling stock. The home building industry in Scotland directly and indirectly contributed around £5 billion to the Scottish economy Scotland would flourish with the ability to spend all of these revenues on Scotland, rather than just getting pocket change back from westminister on all of our income. Now this is a small list to show the amazing achievements the SNP has done for scotland so far! nobody before them has made a shred of the impact they have for scotland! Since coming into power the snp have introduced free education and Free Tuition Students in England face tuition fees up to £27,750 Scottish students receive university tuition free paid for free medical care and Prescription Prescription charges abolished in Scotland now £9 per item south of the border free travel for Oaps and disabled people the opening of the queensferry crossing and the Aberdeen to inverness bypass which were both wanted for numerous years by Scots Care For All Free personal and nursing care extended to everyone who needs it regardless of age Childcare - 600 hours of early learning and childcare, saving families up to £2,500 per child per year Record health funding - spending will exceed £14 billion in 2019/20 and Health spending in Scotland is £185 per person higher than in England Scotland’s A&E services are the best performing in the UK - for four years running Scotland is leading the world on alcohol pricing, being the first country to implement minimum unit pricing Scotland led the UK by introducing a mental health waiting times targetand our spending on mental health services exceeded £1 billion in 2018 Free tuition and bursaries for student nurses have been scrapped in England. In Scotland, we’ve protected free tuition and the nursing and midwifery bursary rises to £8,100 for 2019 and £10,000 for 2020, they have invested record amounts in schools to close the attainment gap £120 million going direct to schools in 2019 alone, All 135,000 pupils in primaries 1 to 3 now benefit from free school meals, saving families around £380 per child per year, Since 2012, we have invested over £1 billion per year in Scotland’s universities. A WEALTHIER SCOTLAND Scotland’s unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest rate on record, under the SNP. Scotland is the top destination in the UK, outside of London, for foreign direct investment. They have delivered a new progressive tax system, supporting additional investment in our public services while safeguarding those on lower incomes. Scotland has the most generous business rates relief package in the UK - worth more than £750 million. Scotland’s international exports are up 57.2 per cent under the SNP - valued at £32.4 billion in 2017. There leading the way on fair pay. Over 1,500 organisations are now accredited Living Wage employers - over one quarter of the total across the UK. They’ve met their target to reduce youth unemployment by 40 per cent - four years early. Business research and development spend in Scotland increased by 13.9 per cent in 2017 to reach a record £1.25 billion, compared to a UK increase of just 2.9 per cent. To help protect jobs and businesses through the recession, we’ve slashed or abolished business rates for over 100,000 premises - saving small businesses around £1.7 billion to date. Scotland has the highest pay anywhere in the UK outside of London, the South East and East regions. City Region Deal, with £254 million more for infrastructure projects across the north east of Scotland. Scotland’s productivity is outperforming the UK as a whole. Since 2007 productivity in Scotland has grown 10.3 per cent, compared to growth of 2.9 per cent in the UK
But all of this data is comprised of the Scottish economy as it functions within the UK. The Scottish economy is highly interdependent with that of the rest of the UK it's no telling how damaging breaking up could be. Breaking up unions are very good at destroying the economy, and nationalism is very easy to use to stoke up delusions of grandeur as the dummies at Vote Leave proved with a few to many English and Welsh.
Innocent Ferret Right so you have answered your own question then scotland is so interdependent it would succeed on an independent level. I would break up the economy on England’s behalf as they would lose out on about £50 billion per year and we would gain that aswell our own treasury that we can add to instead of it getting added to westministers treasury. As a country Scotland pays far more of a percentage compared to wales and Northern Ireland to most expenditures within the uks economy including the army in which we contribute far more to the armed forces compared to any other country in the UK. And the gers report and the office of national statistics which I have read both don’t correlate for scotland? Anyway we could build on our own treasury and make descisions with our revenue instead of asking England for permission. We could be so much more of a country like Norway we have the recourses but we’re getting dragged down by our neighbors that’s just my opinion - if scotland was getting to keep it’s full revenue every year and could make its own decisions within the UK I wouldn’t care about independence it’s not about braveheart as people think that’s what all nationalists are about it’s the fact we give England £60-£80 billion a year and get a block grant of about £30 billion back how is that fair on Scotland and it’s people to me that is daylight robbery and needs to change! And if it means breaking up unions for fairness and upsetting peoples feelings for my children to have a better future then I don’t care I’m for it so that they can live in a better Scotland.
@@Jonathan-pg2hd I'm fairly sure Scotland generates slightly less in revenue than the total Scottish Parliament and Westminster combined spending. I think Scotland generates about £60 billion and has £70 billion in expenditure, of which a small amount is likely on UK wide interests in Scotland. Overall England receives the lowest per capita spending. Again the problem comes all these assumptions are based off the current situation in Scotland. In the short term the economy of Scotland and probably that of England too will be put into recession and if not the uncertainty of secession and the inflationary pressures of a weakening currency would certainly dampen growth significantly. The interdependence of the Scottish and English economies come down to geography as Scotland's only nearest trading partners are the rest of the UK, exporting more to the UK than the rest of the world combined and thus a downturn in the English economy will cause a downturn in the Scottish economy as demand for Scottish goods falls. Scotland does have a naturally strong economy but ultimately it is reliant on Oil, which whilst probably sustainable in the short to medium term, is on a long term decline and demand for Scottish goods in England and ultimately I think the short to medium term damage the fallout from secession causes is probably worse than putting strong reform pressure on Westminster. At the moment there is a huge political divide within England between older generations who seem to be in the political ascendancy and younger voters who are disillusioned by austerity and frustrated at Brexit, so ultimately in the long run I think waiting it out, from Scotland's perspective, is probably better.

According to the survey, 85.5 percent of the citizens of the Czech Republic would be in favor of the return of Great Britain back to the EU. I'm in favor too.
I'd like to ask a Scot this question: Scottish Independence might be desirable to you for whatever reason but considering the fact that you'd have to reapply to join the European Union and several EU leaders did say at the time of the independence referendum in 2014 that it would be quite difficult for an independent Scotland to join the EU, don't you think it would be better for you to stay a part of the UK and perhaps fight for devolution than to go for complete independence since you'd have diminished access to not only the EU but also the rest of the UK as well, with whom you share deep historical ties too? P.S: I'm an Indian and I personally have nothing to gain from this. I'm just asking you out my curiosity after having followed these debates.
