don't see much to be positive about there, and it just underlines how dysfunctional UK politics is. The 'root and branch' reform will fizzle out like the banking reforms, the press reforms or anything else. Even last night as the vote had just been called John Reid is trying to backpedal and say that 'it wasn't a vote for independence, it was a protest vote'. No it fucking wasn't.
I stand firmly in #bettertogether camp however think it's a shame he's resigned as I truly believed he was the right man to lead Scotland through devomax. It's a shame he's throwing it all away really. All easy to say from the comfort of London though. Let's hope someone more personable takes over an continues his good work.

Oh, there's definitely some of that kind of nationalism in Scotland too. If you haven't seen it, you've not been there very long.
