Considering Scotland has all the necessary machinery in place to become an independent state, we see no obvious reasons why Scotland would not succeed economically if it were to do so, especially if achieved within the bounds of the law.

I am English and I voted No in 2014 because I believed in the Union and because I did not want to be ripped out of the EU. I did not believe the Better Together rhetoric about pensions and economy because that was obviously scare tactics.

My views on independence haven't changed, I can only say that the case for independence is strengthened by the way that Scotland's promise of voting 'no' to retain EU membership has been conveniently forgotten.
