Either significantly more powers will be returned to Hollyrood upon the UK leaving the EU, or they will be held at Westminster. Either way, the Status Quo will change significantly.<br /><br />The only way you could argue otherwise is if, by "Status Quo," you mean "Westminster's decisions should continue to have perpetual precedence over anything we decide." Which might be more honest, but you can see why they didn't phrase it along those lines.Taranaichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176999342965850175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930120922627919768.post-85476022141343598342018-02-07T12:16:18.025+00:002018-02-07T12:16:18.025+00:00GWC2.

It seems to have wet the sponges of the SiU types. A cursory glance shows that poll is far grimmer news for those against devolution/independence than those that support Holyrood in whatever form. That should have been the headline but that wouldn't play well to the few that still buy the paper.<br /><br />The Scotsman is, however, a joke. I think most newspapers struggle to afford serious journalists and therefore publish whatever pap is dumped on their desk. I would not give the Scotsman house room and I used to buy it every day.
