... before its too late ! 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 Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Don't worry. In the case of England (aka the Rest UK) it will take only 50, 60 years to recover from the loss of Scotland. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

The Wikipedia link is incorrect on many facts. A Dexbot edit is the give away - yet so many fall for it. Its why there's so much/many better sources now - than Wiki... Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

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.

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 !

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?
