Interesting that the Yes campaign are adamant that they will use the UK pound no matter what
Funny that this post (from 8 years ago) is what popped up when I clicked on the thread to come and ask about the announcement that Sturgeon would want to dump the pound.
Can someone who knows more about this explain to me why that would be a reasonable stance?

Interesting that the Yes campaign are adamant that they will use the UK pound no matter what, when the rUK is saying categorically they will veto that. Of course an iScotland could use the pound, but would have no say in interest rates etc. A few years ago the pound was a 'millstone around Scotland's neck' and yet now 'the pound is in the best interests of Scotland and rUK'
So why doesn't iScotland simpy use the Mexican Peso? Or the Chinese Yuan? Both are freely traded international currencies and don't have that nasty rUK aftertaste
We live in fucking bizarre times if the Scottish people swallow this BS
