I am concerned about the intelligence of the majority of Westminster MPs and our media.....For your information.. Scotland HAS NOT been given DevoMax... NOR is it by any stretch of the imagination one of the most devolved parliaments in the world. Nearly half of our voters wanted to LEAVE the union, yet you wonder why we are enraged at the watered down powers proposed when over 60% of our people would prefer DevoMax... I have defined DevoMax below if any of you are struggling with what it means.... Full fiscal autonomy (sometimes referred to as devo-max) is a particular form of far-reaching devolution proposed for Scotland. The term has come to describe a constitutional arrangement in which instead of receiving a block grant from the UK Exchequer as at present, the Scottish Parliament would receive all taxation levied in Scotland; it would be responsible for most spending in Scotland, but would make payments to the UK government to cover Scotlands share of the cost of providing certain UK-wide services, mainly defence and the conduct of foreign relations.
