Let no politician from any other party tell you that just because they have only been able to grow Scotland at 1.5%, 9% is not an entirely possible goal. Ireland managed an average of 7% over many years & a peak of 10.5%, China has averaged 10, Russia & the Baltic states have averaged 8% & world average growth is now calculated at 5% annually. We can get as far above the world average as we have been below it.Another new Scottish blog is Musings of a Reactionary Snob.

8% is for Belarus & India.
9% would put us level with Ethiopia & Argentina.
10% is China & Estonia.
Russia is shown at 6% but has done better - Putin's election promise was to double GNP in 10 years - he is doing it & this is why he is immensely popular.
I am wimpishly playing with a net to the extent that hitting 8% once would count (& to the extent that I ain't the government) nonetheless the UK's growth rate is poor in world terms & Scotland's worse & there is no real reason why we cannot do better than Irelsnd.

RUSSIA has averaged 8% growth?
When, and for how long?
I'd like to see his reference. I wonder if the word "tukhta" means anything to him?
Interesting.
