PS The Country of Scotland has two World Class Soccer Teams - the City of Manchester has two as well!!
WTF?
Is that the very best you can do?
Pop'n Glasgow = 592,820
Pop'n manchester= 498,800
Pop'n England = 51,446,000
Pop'n Scotland = 5,222,100
English cities w/pop'n >0.4 million = 8
Scottish " " " " " " = 2
And your point caza2?
18 currencies are presently used within currency unions. No reason whatsoever why the Pound Scots couldn't be pegged to the Pound Sterling, or the Euro, or the Dollar, or whatever.
Spain is playing to the benefit of the home audience.
Two Sovereign States ("A" & "B") enter into a treaty of union to create a single Sovereign State. ("C").
"C" enters into a treaty of union with a gouping of sovereign states ("Z").
Whilst a member of "Z", "C" repeals its founding treaty of union and reverts to "A" and "B".
Under such circumstances, any and all treaties undertaken by "C" in respect of "Z" apply equally to "A" and "B".
If a member of "Z" desires to exclude "A" from "Z", then the basis for exclusion applies equally to "B".
The Euro-sceptics must be ecstatic; Spain's efforts to keep an Independent Scotland from joining the EU could see the remainder of the UK similarly kept out. I can see Bill Cash joining the SNP, oh, sometime next week.
