So vote for independence not knowing how people will be paid or what they’ll pay in....really?
Ideally not, I would prefer the currency plan be fully laid out in the approach to the referendum or ideally sooner.

What referendum?
The 2nd independence referendum.

When is that?

Not sure yet. Will be sure to let you know.

I think it has to be.
The SNP leadership are going to have to be very heavily pressured on by the wider Yes movement. There is an approved party policy for a currency and this needs to become plan A as opposed to sterlingisation.

I'm ok with them using the pound until we get ourselves properly set-up. The pound is as much ours as it is anyone elses.

Then gradually cross-over.

Hell, I wouldn't be against the Euro.
I think this is a common view Steve. People aren’t nearly so vexed by the issue of currency and the media seem to think.

I guarantee you they are.
What currency will they pay their mortgage in?
Depends on the outcome.

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.

I was on a south American cruise and an older Canadian lady told me this about 15 years ago.

Was only going by what she had said .

Well over in Canada they use the dollar and come and go without too much bother between the 2 countries .

Eh? They use the Canadian dollar and it's a right pain in the arse at the border. I lived in Alberta for nearly 2 years and used to go to Wyoming, USA.
Nobody in the US or Canada seems to want a currency union though.

Indeed. Many countries set up and used their own currencies well in advance of independence.
