Really? Only the Scottish ones? That is the not rooted in fact though is it? The current contract is with an organisation that will cease to exist.
In practice, all countries in these circumstances, regardless of a mass of inconvenient facts, take a pragmatic line of least resistance because there is simply far too much to do.
There is no room for a contractor that makes waves. Head down and play along. A hurried nationalisation does not help asset value and future earnings.
