EU imposes harsh austerity on Croatia, its newest member
The austerity measures the EU is forcing throughout the continent have had a major impact on Croatia. The country has been in continuous recession since 2009, with GDP contracting by almost 20 percent by 2012. A further drop is expected in 2013. The government was forced to slash its 2014 growth estimate from the previous 1.3 percent to only 0.2 percent, as the result of the latest cuts demanded by the EU.

The EU weren't to blame for either Greece or Croatia's economic problems, an independent Scotland wouldn't be in as bad a situation, if we get away quickly enough.
Seems to have worked for Croatia. 9 years down the line their economy is growing and considered fit enough to join the Euro.
We've had 13 years of austerity here and the latest economic forecasts are abysmal.

All of this argument about how hard it will be for Scotland to get back into the EU misses the main point of this thread: we were already in the EU and the ****ing Tories took us out against our will.

Staying in the UK is also a gamble.
If we were to go through an austerity process with EU monitoring that should be balanced against what we have just now.
Plenty of room for partnerships and forward thinking policies with an aim of following the likes of Croatia and Ireland within the EU to some kind of prosperity and optimism.
I struggle to see where the chances of economic growth are within a crumbling, rudderless, uninvestable UK.

There are people on this board who would argue black was white just for the fun of it.

Your first sentence I find a bit farcical. It might be the 6th largest economy in the world. How is that benefitting the country as a whole? Who actually benefits from that? The vast majority do not, a small minority do while bragging about handing out benefits (and at the same time seeking to shame those who have to take them.)
The UK must be the most topsy-turvy economy in the world if its the 6th largest but it fails to pay its workforces properly. Schools crumbling, armed forces a joke, health services shocking, judiciary being shrunk.
30 new billionaires last year though.
What do you extract from phrase "6th largest economy"? For me it's just gobbledygook, like the "fastest growing economy" rubbish they were coming out with last year.
So many are struggling and many are teetering on the brink.

Sorry, maybe I've just misread it all and folks really do think we were members in our own right.
