Scotland can not survive on their own without massive budget cuts. The crash in oil killed the dream. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/aug/24/scottish-finances-worsen-fall-oil-revenues-15bn-deficit …

Many might be persuaded to live with those cuts in, say, EFTA. EU membership >= oil in 2014, definitely > post-Jun23

Maybe but we are not talking about small cuts. An independent Scotland would today have a deficit of over 20% of GDP
@andersostlund -
Source for the 20%, please? Thought August GERS was roughly 10%,

My bad - you are correct.
-
That's still a lot of money and would require a lot of very painful cuts. Not really a stable foundation for a new state.
-
Agreed, but soft targets in universal benefits - e.g. free uni tuition (£75m), free prescriptions (900m) - plus mad capex projects.
