IF SCOTLAND WERE CURRENTLY INDEPENDENT AND WE WERE BEING SOLD THE UNION?

If Scotland had remained independent for the last 300 years how would the pro-union campaign be selling us their proposals?

1. Your Parliament will move hundreds of miles away and your MPs will become a tiny minority in this new Parliament. By extension therefore you will often get a Government which you did not vote for. 
2. The Scottish Government’s oil and gas revenues will now be handed over to this new London Parliament to be spent as they see fit. Scotland will then become one of the few countries in the World to have discovered oil and actually got poorer! 
3. The biggest nuclear weapons facility in Europe will be built 30 miles from your largest city. 
4. You will be joining a new country whose health and education services are rapidly being privatised. 
5.  Occasionally you may get dragged into an illegal foreign war. 
6. An austerity budget will be imposed from this new Parliament cutting jobs and threatening public services. 
7. The financial regulation system will be so lax that this new country will be brought to the brink of collapse. 
8. The weakest and most vulnerable in your country, instead of getting the protection and assistance they deserve, will instead be interrogated and humiliated to get them off the meagre levels of support to which they are entitled.

However it is a brief summary of the current situation with Scotland being in the UK.

I am left wondering why polling evidence suggests that this what the Scots are actually going to vote for!

One could argue that the Scots could have had independence over and over at each and every general election since the SNP came into being and particularly since the 1970s, so they must actually want the above even although they nearly always vote against most of it!
