Salmond: New currency argument needed for independence
ALEX Salmond has said it is time for a fresh look at the currency arguments for independence.
The former First Minister told the BBC he still favoured retaining Sterling but said the argument needed “refurbishment” to prevent a future independence vote being “gazumped” by opponents.
“I think the argument you have got to put forward is one which can withstand any position adopted by your opponents,” he said.
“So, you mustn’t allow yourself to be gazumped by your opponents.”
Had Scotland voted Yes, ‘independence day’ would be Thursday, 24 March.
