Ahead of Scotland’s 2014 independence referendum, the Scottish National Party (SNP) tried to reassure voters by citing a resurgent economy, a relatively modest budget deficit and the prospect of free trade with both the UK and the EU.

There will be a separate Scottish national insurance fund, and the rest of the UK will have the lion s share.
Mr Brown also argued that the SNP s estimates for oil revenues – which would have helped fund pensions under independence – were at odds with private documents leaked to the media.
He added: They didn t expect to get £6.9billion from oil, they only expect to get £4billion . far from having all these billions of resources, the SNP are exaggerating all the time. That difference of over two million is the equivalent of half the amount of money spent on everybody s pension in Scotland.
