"We'll be all independent and get money from the EU"
"Er, well you'll have to apply to be in the EU, you know"
"No, we won't, we're already in it".
"No, the UK's in it. Scotland will be a new country and will therefore have to apply for entry"
"But we can use the sterling, right?"
"Why would we guarantee your economy, sorry?"
"Because we helped you build it up over three hundred years?"
"Which you're now seceding from"

etc etc

Basically "We don't want anything to do with you anymore but can we please still use your stuff?"

Have a look at their defence policy...it's a fucking beauty
"We are anti-nuclear"
"I see. So what about NATO?"
"We will apply to join NATO"
"What, the defence organisation protected by a nuclear shield?"
"Yes, but there are only 3 members that have nukes, the rest don't - like Belgium"
"So what you're saying is that you don't know the difference between anti-nuclear and non-nuclear?"
etc

Salmond also wants to lower the voting age from 18 to 16
so that he can guarantee the votes of our educated youth who of course fully understand the financial and economic implications of independence.

Bearing in mind that the political party pushing for independence doesn't seem to fully understand
the financial and economical implications of independence, we can hardly blame the yoof.
