A TOP pro-independence economist has said the Scottish Government’s currency plans are “so wrong” he would vote No in a future referendum.
Professor Richard Murphy blasted plans announced on Monday to retain sterling for an unspecified and potentially lengthy period following independence and claimed they would lose the vote for Yes.
By failing to set out a “timed plan” to set up a Scottish pound, instead saying that it would be done once a series of tests were met, the First Minister has asked Scots to take too big “a risk”, he added.
