In the business world when one company wants to make a takeover or propose a merger, all the facts and figures must be presented to Directors or Shareholders to obtain their agreement. The "Plan" must disclose expected results in the next five years.
Astute Scottish voters will expect coherent arguments to make them vote for Scottish Independence. Will Alex Salmond be ready in time to circulate his Plan with detailed figures early August at the very latest ?
The vote for or against Scottish Independence is scheduled for September 18, 2014.
What Scottish voters want to know is how different life will be after Independence. For example,
- What will be the Scottish rates of Income Tax ?
- What will be the VAT rate ?
- Will total Taxes in Scotland increase or decrease ?
- How will new administrative costs be financed ?
- Will Scottish passports be issued ?
Real Independence means adopting a new Scottish currency ! That is quite clear. Look at the EUROZONE where countries have lost control of their future because they cannot "devalue" when that would be the best solution ! That is the crisis at this very moment !
Alex Salmond has a "Dream", but he must define its limits ! Has he got enough time before the vote on September 18 to convince voters to share his dream ?
