Yeah, you could very well be right! Would you, on the other hand not think their oil reserves etc are enough to be able to finance themselves? (genuine question, I don’t know enough about the situation!)

One of the criticisms of the original indie plan was it assumed quite a high price for oil, which has since crashed, which would have blown a massive hole in Scotland’s finances because it was a large part of the theoretical income of the country. Probably falls into the “nice to have” category and not in the “structure your public spending based on it” category.
