The Today programme this morning on BBC Radio 4 discussed an article on the front page of the Scottish Daily Record whereby the three main political leaders "promise" extra powers to the Scottish parliament: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron-ed-miliband-nick-4265992
I thought it had been clearly established that there can be no constitutional changes in the United Kingdom without a referendum?
What is being proposed is to give residents in Scotland control over their own affairs and also control (through the Scottish MPs at Westminster) over what happens in England.
This is not acceptable.
No politician has the authority to make this promise.
In any case, appeasement never works.
