Local Conservatives gave support today to a leafleting campaign by Better Together, the cross-party campaign to keep Scotland part of the Union at the Referendum in September this year. The theme was ‘Leaving the UK means waving goodbye to the security of the UK Pound’.
This follows the Governor of the Bank of England’s comments earlier in the week in Edinburgh that an independent Scotland would have to give up some areas of financial sovereignty in a currency union with the rest of the UK. In fact, we would have to give up more sovereignty than the countries who make up the Eurozone.
