But obviously you don't see it that way.<br /><br />However, since a shared currency is an essential ingredient of a federation, surely you are making it even more difficult for yourselves in the long term by rejecting it outright?<br /><br />Unless of course you believe there will not be a Yes vote under any circumstances. Which is all very well, but it might be wise to have a plan B - no?<br /><br />kininviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08585263702054126919noreply@blogger.com
