Question [poll] about independence for the Scots

[MacB]

Not quite everyone. Those that have a share in the financial future don't all get a vote.

Do you get votes in many other countries? because I assure you that they all impact in the global marketplace

In name only. Owned by the British taxpayer, operating on a licence issued by the Bank of England on monies lodged in accounts in Engish banks.
Withdraw the monies and they lose the licence to print, let alone issue Scottish notes.

Sorry but you'll need to explain the point behind this diversion coz I'm not getting it.

Meanwhile back to your point about voting, what was it?

British taxpayers fund the three Scottish banks issuing Scottish currency. Therefore, legally, we have a right to vote in this referendum. We are being denied that right. Please explain why. The same would not be allowed anywhere else.

So you think that holding shares in a business gives you the right to vote in any country that business may reside or operate in?

No, I have a right to vote on the activities of those companies in which I have a share in.

So vote on them but it doesn't give you a right to vote within a nation, Scotland is not RBS nor vice versa

You forgot the Bank of Scotland & the Clydesdale bank. Ownership of which lies south of the border. In the same nation at present!
Without a central bank, how are you going to operate as a seperate country.

What are you on about, clearly you feel deeply about the bank bailouts, especially if you perceive any of them to be foreign. So who exactly do you think was bailed out, who avoided taking a financial hit due to the bailout?

By the way ownership of all banks will be spread all round the world with a tidy chunk being in tax havens and secrecy jurisdictions.

Finally what do you mean without a central bank? there's no chance of that happening, if the existing can't be used then a new one would be formed just like has always happened.

Honestly, I get that you feel you have a grudge but at least have something behind your assertions

 

[classic33]

Bank bailouts have nothing to do with the monies they have deposited in banks in England, in order that they be allowed to issue Scottish currency. The same situation as before bank bailouts began.

Is there any chance of you explaining why you think you should be able to vote? If you had shares in a US bank do you think you should be able to vote in their elections? Sorry but this makes absolutely no sense, you're jumping about between half made ideas and seem to be trying to assert that owning shares in financial institutions means you own shares in nations.

 

[MacB]

Yeah like that would go really well
