Should Scotland go it alone?

Excerpt:

But enough of the SNP - my view on an independent Scotland is mixed. On the one hand I’m very much for the United Kingdom. I think it derives a lot of strength in its diverse cultures and history. However, an independent Scotland could embrace the closer unity with Europe I’d like to see, adopt the Euro, and through it rediscover much of the ‘can do’ attitude that the country built a reputation for historically.

Comment Excerpt:

I think that is more to do with the domination of Labour and socialism in Scotland. That has to go before the ‘can do’ attitude will return. I’ve heard lots of praise for Polish immigrants in to Scotland about their work ethic. The Poles in return are totally confused about why there are people that think it is mad to actually get up and do an honest day’s work. To get those layabouts to accept that they need to get off their backside and do something productive will be a good first step towards reviving that ‘can do’ attitude.
