From a tired and desperate-sounding Alistair Darling, interviewed in today’s Guardian: “[Darling] said Sturgeon ‘patently does not understand what a currency union is’. It would require a single government because it was like ‘sharing sovereignty in the same way as you do when join the euro’. ‘The currency union argument is something that is beginning to strike home to people [that] the only way a currency union can work is if you have a single government.’” So according to the ex-Chancellor, sharing a currency (like the Euro) requires “a single government”? Um, can anyone spot the somewhat glaring flaw in this argument? We’ll give you a clue – if you can’t, drop a line to the German government, the French government, the Spanish government, the Belgian government, the Dutch government, the Italian government, the Luxembourg government, the Finnish government, the Greek government, the Slovenian government, the Maltese government, the Portugese government, the Austrian government, the Latvian government, the Irish government, the Slovakian government, the Estonian government and the Cypriot government and see if any of them can help you out.
