Scottish Independence could cause new Great Depression
Quote:
THE chief economist of German financial giant, Deutsche Bank, has warned Scots that a Yes vote would cause serious damage to Scotland's economy.
ONE of the world’s leading banks last night warned a Yes vote would be the biggest mistake for the global economy since the decisions that caused the Great Depression.
Deutsche Bank’s chief economist David Folkerts-Landau said independence would cause the kind of instability that brought the world to its knees in the 1930s.
Folkerts-Landau issued a statement on Scotland last night saying that independence would be the “wrong turn” in history.
He said everyone had the right to self-determination but there were decisions that “have negative consequences far beyond what voters and politicians could have imagined”.
All these pressed souls trying to derail independence... unless more Scottish ignore them they'll succeed too... too many Scots are scared of change and want to keep suckling at Westminster's side (also, if only men were voting I presume independence would be assured).
The English can just tell them what to do even if all Scots are against it since they are completely outnumbered in politics, for example:
Quote:
76% of Scottish MPs voted against the further austerity cuts contained in George Osborne’s 2010 Finance Bill – but they went ahead nevertheless, with thousands of jobs lost
82% of Scottish MPs voted against the new higher VAT rate of 20% – but VAT went up along with the prices we pay in the shops
81% of Scottish MPs voted against the welfare cuts contained in the Welfare Benefits Up-rating bill – but a million Scottish families will see their incomes fall because MPs from the other parts of the UK voted a different way
91% of Scottish MPs voted against the bedroom tax – but we’ve had it imposed anyway, with around 100,000 families in Scotland directly affected
79% of Scottish MPs voted against new laws designed to prepare the Royal Mail for privatisation – yet Royal Mail will be sold off in the coming year, a disaster for postal services in Scotland
