And the EU. It's written into the treaty of the Functioning of the EU.
Amending it would allow Hungary and other member states to add their amendments. It would never happen.
Nobody told you about that, did they?

It is when independence supporters try to equate secession with self-determination. A typical fake grievance.

Ireland was a colony and then an involuntary part of the UK.
Scots were the most vociferous colonisers in the British Empire.
And? What on earth point are you trying to make?

I suspect you haven't even read that, seeing as it supports what I've said and contradicts what you've claimed.

Because Scotland adds more per capita to UK's debt than the rest of the UK.
Scotland and the Scottish government are not the same thing. Scotland's deficit was 8.6% pre-Covid, whereas UK's was 2.5%.

Estimation is normal.
FAI: "GERS publishes 95% confidence intervals for many of the taxes that rely on estimation using survey sources. This gives a range of possible values for each of the estimated taxes, with a 95% confidence level that the true value is in the proposed range"

Murphy is a clown who openly admitted his knowledge of GERS was "on the basis of blogging" and that he hadn't done any "deep searching". It's entirely predictable you should cite him

Is the Scottish Government obliged to produce GERS each year?

If Yes, by whom?

If No, Why (other than showing Scotland's finances in a bad light)?

Self-determination is a concept for former colonies, not former colonisers like Scotland. But of course Brexiters said exactly the same thing.

Lying again. A FOI request confirmed there is zero obligation to publish them. The raw data comes from a variety of sources, increasingly from Scotland. 15% of the figures are estimates.
The population of Scotland is an estimate. Estimates are entirely normal in statistics.

It is the Scottish government's report, commissioned by them, voluntarily, and prepared by their civil servants, using a methodology written by their chief economist.
If you'd read the supporting documents you'd know the answer.

it goes like this:

- but independence is a good idea (doctrinal, thus is it written)
- therefore: the figures must be wrong

Well done for demonstrating you've read neither GERS, nor the export statistics, and understand nothing about accounting or statistics.
But like Brexiters, you reject whatever reality intrudes on your belief system.

So let's ignore the reality of existing trade, just like Brexiters did. After 50 years of being a member, Scotland still did three times as much trade with the rest of the UK.
Scotland wouldn't be in the CTA as that would involve rewriting EU treaties.

So 55 years to do something that involved joining the EU at the same time as the UK, and then becoming a tax haven, which wouldn't be an option for Scotland.

Except only 20% of Scottish exports go to the EU, and 60% go to the rest of the UK, so not huge at all, other than hugely harmful.
Sounds like "we'll trade more with the rest of the world" as the Brexiters liked to say.

That would be a very inefficient way of using limited capacity.
