The economics of an independent Scotland.
Eurostat data shows that the per capita GDP of Scotland is lower than the UK average.
This isn't to say Scotland is a poor region, it's actually wealthier than many regions of England, however the wealth generator that is South East England and London raises income and taxes for the whole of the United Kingdom.
The SNP has a very left leaning socialist view that the role of government is the provide as 'free' services to the public as possible.
In Scotland NHS prescriptions are free, university tuition fees are free, council tax is lower, Scotland has no 'bedroom tax' as well as a slightly lower income tax rate for poorer workers.
Scotland needs to choose if it should pursue independence and to face upto a likely reduction in living standards.
