Alex Salmond is proposing to use the pound sterling regardless of whether Scots vote for independence or not. I am bemused by the sheer weirdness of this.
If Scots want to keep the pound they can vote for the Better Together side, and have the same arrangements as at present, with the interest rates set for the UK as a whole. If they vote no, Alex Salmond wants Scots to have an essentially colonial relationship with the rest of the UK (rUK), where interest rates are set for the UK economy, and the Scots simply agree to do whatever London decides.
How can this man call himself a Scottish nationalist? He seems to want to give the English more power over the Scots than they have at the moment.
