As far as Scotland is concerned, they don't meet the economic criteria to even apply and they never will, so that's a plain fact.
Isn't it clutching at straws to quote some unattributed argument which someone might have made in pursuance of a political cause - obviously anyone can do that and it doesn't help anything. I can remember, for instance, people insisting that we'd have to leave NATO if we left the EU. It's all sand in the wind now Eric - an infinite number of correct and incorrect arguments were made by all sides and the people decided the issue through voting.
I thought people were somewhat misled by Tony Blair in 1997 and that they might not have voted for him if they'd known he was a warmonger who ended up causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands, but I didn't start saying that his election should be reversed.
Similarly, I think that Corbyn is misleading people and might well cause Jewish deaths if elected - would you have believed me if I'd told you what Blair might do ? I digress, the point is that we really should respect the vote because historically ,the only alternative to that in the end is civil war.
