Well, the headquarters is where the majority of tax is payed.
Actually utterly and completely false. Did you know RBS is also in england? Did you know that despite RBS's headquarters being in scotland, England got the tax of the economic activity n England? Why, would it be any different now? The HQ isn't even open to the public, it's the bank behind their chain branch, not a single dollar is placed their directly by their people, it's all just legislation and business meeting. Where it decides to go is irrelevant, RBS's problem isn't the lacking economic power an independent scotland, rather BBC going against regulation which brought a shock in stock prices in hours before RBS can take action
As for everything else you said, scotland wants a lot of changes unanimously, but we're not given the Max Devolution vote. Some of us now don't want a thing to do with westminister, and i'm one of them. They don't represent us, and they've never wanted to unless they felt they had to.
Scotland will have some teething issues i'm sure, and England will have a large blow to them too. But the money thrown back into the countries will be placed into the flow of people more across the north and south capitals, it will be a more beneficial economic model for both scotland, and anyone north of london. We shouldn't have to justify our economics any more, a strong case has been made for it, stronger than the vast countries in europe if they had to face a split. Things like being allowed in the EU when w'ell be more productive than france by their calculations, sharing the pound even though we can do it without their consent and also having other options like the Euro and our own currency anyway, when the first option will entirely be made anyway on accounts to england not being an idiot to losing economic trade with scotland and allowing us off with no debt. And this ridiculous idea that separation with cause harm to the economy for good, even though changes in the economic will happen regardless of our economic situation, and that we're more than easily able to bounce back from it.
It's just...silly to think that this is going to end in all doom and gloom. If we vote for independence on thursday, i'll miss england, I love the people there dearly, I have family that are english, and friends that are english, but I won't miss westminister, because despite being voted in, neither labour or conservatives in Westminster represent the honest workers of scotland, or england.
