No. Economics isn’t a science, it’s more a philosophy. We might have a few difficult years, most new countries do, but we’ve got the basis of being a very successful country. So it’s not that the economics don’t matter, it’s that we should look beyond them.
With an answer like that you could be a politician 😉
This ‘few difficult’ years will be an interesting one if independence actually happens, I wonder if everyone will then be so light hearted about the reality of five or ten years of recession, or as you say, 50, 100… Vote Yes, the rest of your life might be severely affected, but people you’ll never get to meet in many decades time might once again enjoy the pre-independence quality of life!
Sadly, the numbers that make my salary, bank account and everything else to do with money, work in a more scientific style. 1+1=2 etc.
Think I’ve swung back to No again today!
