It would be wise for Scotland to become an independent nation

Round 2: Argument -In my opinion I"m honored to accept this challenge. Thank you Atheist-Independent for letting me do this challenge. -I"m going to name some reasons why Scotland should be independent. I. Scotland has a rich and diverse Economy "They have "2.4 billion in construction which employs around 170,000 jobs, "11.6 billion in tourism which supports about 292,000 jobs, "39 billion yearly turnover in manufacturing with a value added of "12.7 billion and about 127,000 jobs. Scotland also has world leading expertise in life science, world class universities( 5 in the world"s top 200), a multi-billion pound creative sector and vast energy( oil, gas, tidal, wave, wind, and solar), fishing and agricultural resources." http://www.businessforscotland.co.uk..., By: Michael Gray. II. Scotland Generates far more tax than the UK average "Scotland generated "800 more in tax per person than the UK as a whole in 2012-2013. Scotland has generated more tax per head than the UK every year for the past 33 years. The graph below is for a shorter time period but produced by the UK Government. Even in the years where oil prices were lowest, Scotland tax generation was always been considerably higher than the UK average and England in particular." http://www.businessforscotland.co.uk..., By: Michael Gray. III. Scotland has Strong Exports "Scotland"s top export markets are USA, Netherlands, France and Germany, which are worth a combined total worth of "9.5 billion. Scottish whiskey exports are valued at "4.27 billion last year. This is because Scotland export 40 bottles every second! The food and drink market is key to Scotland"s exports across the world. Other key industries include chemical manufacturing, computer products, finance and insurance and other forms of equipment. With the powers of independence combining with the Scottish Government gaining direct control over international relations, there is a target to increase exports by 50%, which would create over 100,000 jobs." http://www.businessforscotland.co.uk..., By: Micheal Gray. IV. No more building Nuclear Weapons "We should stop building Nuclear Weapons in Scotland, it is unethical and morally wrong. Under "The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons" the UK expects all other countries to sign this agreement to disarm Nuclear Weapons, but has excluded itself. Under the treaty it continues to build more Nuclear Weapons in Scotland. If you believe in peace instead of war, let's stop building weapons of mass destruction and start caring for the people and the planet." http://www.independentscotland.org... V. Believing in the creation in more Jobs "With an ever rising energy and electricity demand in Europe, Scotland could be one of the global leading suppliers. Scotland has many natural resources that allow sustainable energy for which more jobs are created. Furthermore when Scotland becomes Independent, many centralized services and offices, like Tax Offices, DVLA etc have to be set up in Scotland. This will create many jobs and jobs provide an income, which is good for the economy and beneficial for us all." http://www.independentscotland.org... VI. Believe in a more equal wage "The difference in wage in London compared to Scotland for example is huge. This gap is growing and with the current UK Government the richest only seem to get richer and the poor becoming poorer. With a smaller gap between the highest and lowest incomes, there will be less jealousy, greed and more happiness if we're have more equal wages." http://www.independentscotland.org... VII. Scotland has the resources and finances Scotland has the resources and finances to become independent. One of the early myths created by the No Campaign has been debunked and even the Unionists agree that Scotland has what it takes to become independent and the Scottish people will be better off financially. http://www.independentscotland.org...
