Andrew Neil is floating it again for the unionists at the moment and this remains a real risk to us supporters of independence. The SNP have a policy for our own currency but they are not pushing it publicly, promoting instead a period of sterling use while a currency is set up after independence.
This can cost us points in any upcoming campaign. Now that a new referendum has largely been conceded by Whitehall, I really want to see the SNP getting out ahead of this.
We need to set up our own currency now, or as soon as possible. Put it in the manifesto for May if required but get on with it.
Can’t put it in the manifesto. It’s Scottish elections not a GE.
The election should be fought on local issues that the Scottish parliament has power over.
The constitution is a reserved matter.
I’m not convinced currency is a constitutional matter and I don’t think the Scotland Act prohibits it.
It is pure fantasy and is intended to deflect from the mess they are making of services they have full responsibility over.
Only the gullible fall for it.
