Devo-max sounds like a rock band? What is it really?
Sorry, I should follow UK politics more assiduously, but I am busy enough with the wackos in the US and Virginia in particular.
I bid NO Trump!

LJay, my reply to your earlier post is undergoing review.
I forget to mention that devo-max retains the Barnett Formula whereby Scotland is allocate $1.19 (in our terms) for every tax dollar collected. Wales similarly participates in the Formula but not sure the % return. Anyway, many MPs are fried about this, and about the fact that Scottish MPs can vote on English matters but the converse isn't true.
Party leaders will need a bulldozer to pull all of their promises off.

Well……… that was tense.
I wanted scotland to stay but after all of it and how close the vote was if it happened again, i dont think i will care.
Its been interesting following it online and debates and how other countries view the english and scottish as so vastly different because apart from the tell-tale accent we are no so different on this island, there are things we share in our manners and other things but if you get all your "knowledge" of us from Mel Gibsons searing portrayal of William Wallace then…… thats all you have. Rob roys another good one, tim roth is a sublimely wicked pampered english devil in that one, against liam neesons heroic rob roy. Mind you back in those days my great, great, great, grandfather was scottish, why i have a scottish surname lol

Please keep up the discussion. I have no immediate relationship to hand, but am, under the guise of a Scandinavian name, related to Scots and English. As I age, I have more time to be interested in these things.
