1) How will you replace the funding you get from England?
2) Are you happy to continue using the pound but have no control of it?
3) How will you service your part of the national debt?
4) How will you stop the inevitable exodus to England once the decision has been made?
5) Will you continue to offer free prescriptions, university etc ?
6) …if so how far are you prepared to raise taxes for those that remain?
7) How will you attract investment to, what will have to be a high taxation area?
8) How will you replace and fund the parts of the UK infrastructure that you now take for granted? Eg military, police, public transport?
9) are you prepared to adopt the EURO as a condition of joining the EUSSR?
10) Are you prepared to construct a border as a condition of joining the EUSSR?

The SNP have never addressed any of the above perhaps our resident "independence" supporters would like to have a go.

From memory none of the Nats on this site have ever attempted to answer these questions, probably because they can’t, so I’d be surprised if they start now.

11) where is the money coming from to decommission "oooor oil" industry?
Yawns and scratches nether regions.
How will you pay for and afford the decommissioning of the oil rigs etc.?
Think we should just let them go. Ten percent of UK population. No natural resources to speak of. Let them have their fantasy of independence within the EU.
Didn't see your reply Mushroom, great minds and all that.

questions too difficult dougie? These are things you are going to have to address if you want to leave the UK.
Good questions. Let's hear some answers, starting with Sturgeon.
Can Scotland afford EU membership?

TORATORATORA, this is a link to the 670-page document prepared by the Scottish Government, prior to the 2014 Referendum.

https://www.gov.scot/publications/scotlands-future/
whereas Transport Scotland has had control of Scottish railways for more than 5 years, no consideration has been given to cross-border services. would a scottish government allow an English-let franchise operate to Edinburgh and Glasgow? would they seek to run their own services, resulting in expensive duplication? or would they insist on passengers changing trains at the border? Cross border trains operate happily on the continent, but the British model wouldn't allow similar between England and Scotland.
mushie - the Channel Tunnel services are cross-border between England and an EU country, so could they not be used as a model?
wildly optimistic expecting ten answers from politicians
11. Specifically for Nicola to answer. Do your really think you can handle the workload of tackling all above after only having experience of the comparitively easy tasks you have now. I doubt it, because I think your main aim is to get glory and go down in history.
If Scotland vote to leave the UK and join the EU, will those Scots who currently reside in the UK have to apply to for residency as all EU citizens have to do post Brexit.

To be fair, I don't think despite how long you have been on this site you could tell me who the 'braveheart supporters' are. You have often wrongly labelled some ABers 'bravehearts' when they are far from it.
Can we stop haggis crossing the border??
