Scotland Bill

Why was independence excluded in the setting up the Calman commission? Why could we not have included everything? Had we done so, everyone would have taken part and put forward their own proposals to move Scotland forward. But, with their legendary cunning, the oh-so-clever Unionists said, ““How do we trap the Nats when it comes to looking at how devolution continues?”” They resorted to type, as they did on the constitutional commission. These cunning Unionists sitting around the table said, ““What we'll do is exclude independence from any discussion about the future of Scotland””, and that is what they did.
