Nah, they 'officially' have to adopt it, but several EU countries, some of which joined as recently at 2006, still use their own currencies, holding off the Euro indefinitely as they stick to the believe that it would be damaging to their economy to change currencies.

1. Would an Independent Scotland focus on using Oil as a cornerstone of the economy, or would it focus on using it as a means to provide funds to boost other parts of the economy?

2. Would you seek to form better ties with the Scandinavian Nations, such as Norway, as has been suggested in the past?

3. Would any further efforts be made to make the Holyrood Government system more transparent, to make absolutely sure that things such as the expenses scandal that happened in Westminster would not be possible?

4. If there was one thing you wanted Scotland to be known for by the rest of the world, what would it be?
