\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve decided to make a blog dedicated to Scottish Independence. It’s called the Arc of Prosperity<\/b>, and you can find it at arcofprosperity.org<\/tt><\/a>.<\/p>\n

To quote from the About<\/i> page:<\/p>\n

On the 11th of August 2006, Alex Salmond said:<\/p>\n

Scotland can change to a better future and be part of northern Europe’s arc of prosperity. We have three countries \u00ad Ireland to our west, Iceland to our north and Norway to our east – all in the top six wealthiest countries in the world. In contrast devolved Scotland is in 18th place. We can join that arc of prosperity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I spent the first 30 years of my life in Denmark, but ten years ago I moved to Scotland, and I often wonder about the differences between Scotland and Denmark. I strongly felt that Salmond was absolutely right in making that comparison, although I don’t really understand why he didn’t include Denmark in the arc.<\/p>\n

I’ve been blogging for years at The Widmann Blog<\/a>, but when Alex Salmond announced that the Independence referendum would take place in the autumn of 2014, I decided to create a new blog dedicated to Scottish Independence, and when I was looking for a name, I decided on the Arc of Prosperity<\/i> to show that I’m approaching Scottish Independence from a Danish perspective.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At the moment, it only contains copies of postings from this blog, but that might change it the future, so please bookmark it, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
