Scotland gets a block grant from westminster which they cannot overspend on. We raise approximately £70bn in tax - we get around half back to spend in Scotland’s Parliament. for example the 2019/20 Scottish government budget is £42.5Bn, look it up. we subsidise ukgov to the amount of £27.5Bn this year alone which Westminster spend 'on our behalf' and overspend by the value of our deficit. The first challenge we have with Independence is to spend the remainder wisely, Brexit we rejected, Unelected House of Lords, trident, illegal wars etc etc etc. I think we can do better. Thereafter, only with the powers of independence will have the levers to deal properly with our own economy - opportunities

In 2018, the volume of oil and gas production in Scotland is estimated to have increased by 4.6% to 77.2 million tonnes of oil equivalent (mtoe), accounting for 82 per cent of the UK total
In 2018, the approximate sales value of oil and gas produced in Scotland is estimated to be £24.8 billion, an increase of 30.1% compared to 2017.
There are four Scotland to England pipelines.
Coldstream,Scotland to Leeds and Newcastle, England
Bathgate, Scotland to Manchester and Bishop Auckland , England
Scotland-Northern Ireland Pipeline, The pipeline was completed in 1996 this provides more than half of the power needs of the 600,000 customers. half the population in Northern Ireland from Moffat Scotland to Larne in Northern Ireland.
Rep of Ireland state company Gas Networks Ireland has just completed a second interconnector between Moffat Scotland, to Gormanstown and loughshinny, Rep of Ireland.Completing the twinning of two interconnectors between Scotland and Ireland.
Natural gas supplies around one third of Ireland’s energy needs, and is generates around 50 per cent of the electricity used there.
It supplied 90 per cent of electricity in summer 2018
the technical capacity of the fully twinned gas interconnectors between Scotland and Ireland has increased from 31 million standard cubic meter per day to 35 million
The EU contributed €33.7 million to the overall cost as deemed the pipe to be a “project of common interest”,

Statute of Westminster 1931, the route took by Canada, Australia, New Zealand when they got rid of the english parliament,
'''immediately or upon ratification, effectively established the legislative independence of the self-governing Dominions of the British Empire from the United Kingdom'''
'''As the statute removed all of the British parliament's authority to legislate (for the Dominions)'''

'uk' 'union' dosnt have a constitution. Id like our own Scottish constitution.
Scottish law system is separate as is English law system.
Scotland gets a block grant from westminster which they cannot overspend on. We raise approximately £70bn in tax - we get around half back to spend in Scotland’s Parliament. for example the 2019/20 Scottish government budget is £42.5Bn, look it up. We subsidise ukgov to the amount of £27.5Bn this year alone which Westminster spend 'on our behalf' and overspend by the value of our deficit. The first challenge we have with Independence is to spend the remainder wisely, Brexit Scotland Rejected , Torie English government Scotland rejected, Unelected House of Lords, trident, illegal wars etc etc etc. I think we can do better. Thereafter, only with the powers of independence will have the levers to deal properly with our own economy - opportunities

@vikingofengland Did the residents of England get to vote on the 60 plus Countries who previously got rid of the colonial english parliament? No.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_that_have_gained_independence_from_the_United_Kingdom
Ofcourse English Scots who are resident in Scotland can vote. We get two votes in Scottish elections. one for first past the post and one for proportional representation.
Aye the thieving dictatorship 85% one country uk is finished.
