The referendum is over, one side won but offered new powers. Will the Unionist parties deliver on their solemn promise to the Scottish people?

It will be interesting to track this one over the coming months IMO.

Hey, wait a minute - a petition, you said you'd deliver it yourself Walter.

please don't tell me you love roast beef.

Back to the vow. There is more chance of me seeing gordon brown dancing bollock naked down Kirkaldy
high street with his underpants on his heid than the vow ever being honoured.

It's alright if he breaks that though - Nick Clegg has named himself the guarantor for these powers now :rolleyes:

Turning out like one of those court cases where all the defendants end up blaming each other.

But, he gave his word.I reckon he should be done for treason when the 'vow' is found to not be an actual vow. Don't think it still carries the death penalty, which is a shame.

By next Thursday UKIP will have their first MP and Scotland will be the least of London's worries... just for a change.

elected under proportional representation with 10% of the Scottish vote.

If there is a UKIP MP elected to Westmonster today that will be because more people voted for them than any other party in the first past the post system.
