Last week, Alex Salmond said the General Election in May won’t be a re-run of the referendum but a ballot on the devolution of everything apart from defence and foreign affairs. Think, for just a moment, about what that proposal really means. It means an end to the present pensions system, whereby taxes raised across the whole of the UK go towards the pensions of Scots, and an end to the UK-wide welfare system that makes sure the vulnerable in our country get the support they need. It means an end to the Barnett Formula that ensures Scotland gets a higher share of public money to invest in our schools and hospitals, leaving the Scottish Government budget overly reliant on volatile oil revenue.
