Iain Gray, Leader, Scottish Labour:
“It has become blindingly obvious ... that Alex Salmond and the SNP are running a campaign, not a government. And that campaign has one aim and one aim only – to split up the UK.”
Murdo Fraser, Deputy Leader, Scottish Conservatives:
“Day by day, the SNP is retreating into its nationalist shell and forgetting that it was elected to act as a devolved government.”
Tavish Scott, Leader, Scottish Liberal Democrats:
“The First Minister has got his priorities wrong. He did not appoint a new minister for economic recovery; he appointed a new superminister for independence, grandstanding in Parliament, holding roadshows in every town, wasting taxpayers' money and soaking up time ... We need action on recession not rhetoric on secession.”
AM2, can you set out how each aprty see's devolution developing?
Which ones are for more tax rasiing powers, which are for giving back powers on energy, planning & regulation?
Which are for the gun licensing to be a scottish power, which aren't?
The reality is that the difference in policy across your so-called 'pan-unionist alliance' is unfathomable.
From Federalism to regressive devolution.
A thirs question ina refernedum on greatly enahnced powers within the UK would sink the 'pan unionist allaince' below the water.
Make a note to yourself: Must try harder

Firstly, your silly little rhetorical devices such as “must try harder” don’t serve proper debate. Please desist.
Secondly, variations in how each party, or indeed, individuals within those parties see “devolution developing” – and there’s a blinkered gradualist expression if ever I saw one – are minor compared to the key issue of constitutional principle: that of the preservation of the United Kingdom.
And your “third question” hypothetical will remain just that – hypothetical. All three unionist parties are now standing together: there simply won’t be a referendum.
