      It's nothing near Devo Max, unfortunately.

      MSPs don't vote on English only issues as they are Members of the Scottish Parliament. I think you are aluding to Scottish MPs at Westminster?

      The SNP have always refused to vote on any issues that only concerns England/Wales and refuse to join the HoL.

        Yes, I meant Scottish MPs, got rather mixed up. It's not so much the SNP as it is Labour.

          45% Yes ... 55% No.


          Is the plan just to keep asking the question until it's 51% Yes and 49% No and then to stop asking the question?


          Seems a bit odd to me.

              Still we can't change corporation tax? Or VAT?

              Nothing to see here. Move on.

                Funnily enough it feels like we won. I was at the Hydro on Saturday to hear Nicola Sturgeon at her rally in front of 12,000 people. Across the way at the Armadillo there were another 3,000 pro-indy supporters at the RIC event.

                On the same day in Dunfermline, the Lib Dems held a meeting in front of a couple of dozen people and Jim Murphy announced on Tuesday he was for devolving tax to Holyrood in front of 60 people.

                There's a storm coming

                  You wont ever be allowed to change corporation tax.

                  And there will be no new referendum for 25 years at least, everyone knows that, even the SNP know that.

                    Seeing the pictures it had more than a whiff of Nuremberg about it.

                    They were the last mob to marry up national culture and politics so effectively.

                      Not really very democratic.

                      Next time "Better Together" will not be so complacent.

                      The question will be
                      "Should Scotland remain part of the UK?"

                      and the answer will still be "YES".
