If Alex Salmond gets his way, that will be the main question confronting his compatriots in the autumn of 2014. Scotland's Nationalist first minister set the timing of the referendum on the nation's independence earlier this month. But its wording, which was announced in a consultation document on January 25th, will be more important to the eventual result. Unionists want Scots to be asked simply whether they wish to stay in the United Kingdom or to leave it. Mr Salmond's main question does that, albeit in a rather leading way. But his consultation keeps open the option of an additional question: whether Scotland should be given more powers of self-government. Mr Salmond's critics say that he wants to include this option of "devolution max" on the ballot because he cannot persuade enough Scots to leave the union: polls suggest only one-third support a break. He retorts that it would be undemocratic to exclude an option that commands a lot of support. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
