When Norway split from Sweden (in 1905), 99.95% were in favour (only 184 people voted against) BUT it took 100 years for Norway to recover economically -

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolution_of_the...en_Norway_and_Sweden


1905 + 100 = 2005

Norway has been one of the richest nations on earth per capita ITK, perhaps that economic reality hasn't reached Bakewell yet?

Apparently not !

The pound sterling has hit a two-year high against the euro and a two-week high against the US dollar, as Scotland voted against independence in a referendum.

The markets know who makes the money !

What did the UK Governments do with the oil revenues?

Largely spent it on dolers - many of whom were from Scotland !

Thank you, Ross / Ben aged 4 and a half / Badger etc etc

Your MO gives you away !
Angel In 1905 we were all running around in bare feet with holes in our pockets. Norway was no different. The difference today is that because Norway set up an oil fund, and divided equally would make every citizen a millionaire. What did the UK Governments do with the oil revenues? Time for change ITK. It will certainly be no easy ride but if being better together is the best of both worlds we're all doomed.
