Brown Proposals: (and unspoken Westminster responses) A new UK constitutional law to set out the purpose of the UK as pooling and sharing resources for the defence, security and well-being of the citizens of all four nations. (A law, that we have to stick to? Forget it.) A constitutional guarantee of the permanence of the Scottish Parliament. (What are you smoking?) A new division of powers between Scotland and Westminster that gives Holyrood more powers in employment, health, transport and economic regeneration. (Well...mebbe...but only if we can change our minds...(see 1 &2)) A new tax sharing agreement that balances the commitment of the UK to pool and share its resources with the need for accountability to the electors in all the places where money is spent. (Pardon me, Ive just wet myself...see 2) New power-sharing partnerships to address shared problems on poverty, unemployment, housing need and the environment (Means nothing so youre fine) A radical transfer of powers downwards from Westminster and Edinburgh to local communities. (More power for Boris Johnson...? You might be onto something) If I can identify anything specific at all in the guff and waffle that Ming Campbell was expelling from his duff, Ill get back to you.
