A strong Home Rule position is, I think, closest to what people in Scotland actually want. My take on current polls is that independence has support from about a third of Scots. And this in a time of SNP honeymoon. Devo-max solutions have however probably grown in popularity. I also agree.

If we look at how the SNP is centralising pretty much anything it can get its hands on, our USP has to be about giving power away to the lowest practical level. I expect that there will be some exciting stuff to debate at Scottish Conference in Dunfermline.
