    Or we could be like a less cold Norway?

    Norway discovered her North Sea oil round the same time as the UK did.

    Norway has a higher GDP to Scotland even though it has roughly the same amount of people and the same amount of natural resources with similar climates.

    Scotland's Nominal GDP per Capita is $43,000 where as our Norse cousins have $97,000.

    The Norwegians have a pension fund that is larger than the USA's and 2nd only to Dubai.

    Food for thought.

    Norweigians get ripped off left right and centre though. They get taxed more than us and cost of living is a lot more

    Norwegians don't pay income tax. They are taxed on what they consume, hence the cost of living (particulalry items such as alcohol and tobacco) are so expensive.

    We get ****ed both ways.

    If Norway is so magical why don't we work towards making the whole UK like it? Why do we need to break away to do it?

    So you are a single issue guy and it has nothing to do with the economy?

    Norway and the like are fairer societies with a wider spectrum of the population getting a fair go, that wouldn't suit the home counties boys in England.

    Because England is a traditionally Tory-voting nation who don't like paying taxes but still expect public services that are the envy of the world.

    Dunno. The SNP haven't told us **** all about their plans yet. So deciding yes/no at the moment is pointless.

    The huge gap in voter disparity between Scotland and England is another reason that Independence is becoming more feasible for myself.

    You'd have more luck campaigning as a cannibal than a Tory in Scotland.
