1. Scotland can't run a wellbeing economy if our monetary policies try to mimic those of the UK Government. @GOVUK policies are built, not on a mountain of govt debt - but on a mountain of myths about govt debt. Remember, the UK Government can't run out of money.
2. Government finance in a monetary sovereign country is not scarce – the only things that are scarce are the country’s resources. Those resources are its people, their skills and the physical/technological resources of the country.
3. The government can afford to invest in green technology, in education, in research, in healthy citizens, in a more equal distribution of opportunity & wealth. It can invest in ensuring the planet doesn't burn to a crisp. Resources are limited - not finance.
Once you become aware of how much Scots are being shafted by Westminster - it's difficult to get it out of your mind.

Shafted. An example: Scots having one of the highest energy costs in Europe. Which apart from anyone else - is enough to scare off companies wanting to invest in Scotland.

Shafted: another exaple is Scotland being pulled out the EU against our will! Shafted by Westminster.

1 Unfortunately there is still a wrong-headed belief that Scotland is 'owned by' or is a 'colony of' England and therefore Westminster has to give permission for Scotland to become independent. This is not the case - the relationship between Scotland & England is a treaty.
2 Scots themselves can make the choice to disolve that treaty; it is a unilateral decision and not dependent on any permission for the other sigantory of the treaty. Scot law was not subsumed within English law and neither is it overwritten by English law.
