    About this ebook

    The Union Paper is designed to oppose the White Paper. It tells you all the reasons why Alex Salmond and the SNP shouldn't be in power or government. What are the financial implications for independence? Experts like Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael and Institution of Fiscal Studies report on the dire monetary issues like what currency we will have and how much will it cost?
