La monnaie d'une Écosse indépendante, enjeu du référendum d'autodétermination de 2014

In the 2014 referendum campaign the SNP claimed that an independent Scotland would use sterling as part of a currency union with the rest of the UK. George Osborne's blunt refusal to negotiate such a union turned this technical question into an issue. The currency symbolized the main arguments of the debate as the unionists argued that Scotland's economy would thus never be fully independent nor prosperous, which is the reason why many Yes campaigners advocated a new currency. Yet according to the SNP the Scots were entitled to retain a common asset while leading their own economic and social policies. Lingering doubt eventually prompted the remaining undecided voters to favour the UK.
