Devo-max option only muddies the water

A campaign was launched today by various civic organisations in Scotland to gather views on the country's constitutional future.

This included the option of so-called devo-max, which would give Scotland further powers just short of independence.

Scottish Conservative Constitution Spokesman, David McLetchie MSP said:

"The fundamental issue for the Scottish people is between devolution and independence and anything else, whether it's another question or so-called middle way, will only muddy the waters.

"Alex Salmond was elected with a mandate for a referendum on separation only, and has no mandate for a multiple choice, pick and mix version of devolution. We should focus on the main issue which is whether we are in or out of the UK."
