Thing is a white paper is supposed to have all the answers to help people make a decision.

It's not of much use if all it does is leave a load of open questions.

Salmond can't make promises on things when he doesn't have the say so. it beggars belief, and surely no one in their right mind would follow this guy off to his version of Oz.

Just on the Europe question alone. Does he really think he'll be allowed to join the EU as a separate nation and bring Sterling to the party? And that's If we let him have it?

just that question alone is a fundamental question for the Scottish economy that remains unanswered and will probably still be unanswered come polling day.

how can you vote yes, with that question unresolved?

And that's just one, the so called White Paper is littered with these assumptions.

I would hope the vast Majority of Scots believe that they have their own identity ( IMO they do more than the English ) and that they have enough self governing powers without risking the theirs and our future on this chancer.

I hope he is trounced on the day.
