This is the true Devo max it wont even get past the goal posts whats your thoughts? I think I need to share this again for anyone who thinks that Devo Max (or any type of devolution) being offered is written in stone, IT IS NOT. This is an excerpt from the House of Lords Report. These are the people who will decide: Lord Crickhowell Lord Goldsmith Lord Hart of Chilton Lord Irvine of Lairg Baroness Jay of Paddington (Chairman) Lord Norton of Louth Lord Pannick Lord Powell of Bayswater Lord Rennard Lord Renton of Mount Harry Lord Rodgers of Quarry Bank Lord Shaw of Northstead PLEASE DONT BE FOOLED AGAIN. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE GOVERNED BY LIARS. Let’s be clear, the House of Lords’ report states categorically that any further powers for Scotland should be subject to a UK -wide constitutional process, including the possibility of a UK-wide referendum. This means that the massive pool of MPs representing London and the South East, who benefit most from the union, effectively get a veto on whether or not to reform it. Ironically, just as honest attempts to reform the Westminster voting system and second chamber descended into dissatisfying fudge, so would further devolution for Scotland and Gordon Brown’s panicked announcement of an iron clad timetable disintegrate within days – much like most of the scare stories of the NO Camp. Excerpt from the House of Lords Report: 44. The different constitutional outcome of “devolution max” requires a distinct constitutional process for its achievement. As illustrated by the potential for competing tax regimes within the United Kingdom, such an arrangement for one member of the Union would necessarily have real, deep and immediate consequences for the other members and for the Union as a whole. Properly to secure the legitimate interests of each and all, proposals as to “devolution max” would first have to be developed through intergovernmental negotiations conducted, not just bilaterally with the UK Government, but on an inclusive, multilateral basis across the Union state. 45. Whereas both the UK Government and the Scottish Government have recognised that independence is a Scottish question, “devolution max” is not. Proper constitutional process requires that negotiations involving all parts of the United Kingdom precede any referendum on an agreed scheme of “devolution max.” From the horses mouth............. publications.parliament.uk/.../ldc.../263/263.pdf
