Denmark effectively cedes all economic control over its currency by pegging the Krone to the Euro. Yet despite this seems to have become one of the richest and most equal societies on earth.

If Westminster digs its heels in and refuses to do currency union the Scottish Pound can just peg it and piggy back like the Manx Pound and Jersey Pounds do.

Just because it doesn't make any sense doesn't mean it doesn't work.

And capital flight? So? If Scotland at a stroke loses all the bankers and hedge funds and everyone who thinks they can get away with paying their workers anything but the minimum then I don't really see the problem. And yeah I live and work in London and the gaps I can see opening up are sickening.
