Salmond depriving Scotland of decisive answer it needs

Alex Salmond has stated in an interview that he plans to offer voters a further option of full fiscal autonomy in the referendum on Scottish independence.

David McLetchie MSP, Scottish Conservative Constitution Spokesman said:

"These are desperate moves from the SNP and act as proof that they know that they cannot win the independence referendum without moving the goalposts.

"By offering a cop out option in this referendum Alex Salmond is depriving Scotland of the decisive answer it requires in order to move on from this debate. Scotland can ill afford further uncertainty and the sooner Mr. Salmond starts concentrating on what Scotland needs rather than his independence agenda, the better."
