///But there is also a premium to be paid by the rest of the UK for sustaining Scotland’s finances. The deal struck recently between the SNP and the Treasury means that income taxpayers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will continue to subsidise Scotland to the tune of billions of pounds in the coming years despite the transfer of fiscal powers.///
// it seems strange that the then leaders of the three major parties in Westminster were so keen to keep Scotland as part of the country. I'd love to know why they weren't rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of losing such a drain on the nation's resources. //
Agreed...we don't understand why either. But then again they didn't understand that we wanted out of the pyramid scheme. So perhaps the elite ruling classes are out of touch with popular opinion just as close to home.

Naomi. My oft asked questioni is. Why are politicians and political leaders anxious for Scotland to remain in the UK ? I have yet to receive a reply from any aber !!!!!
