This is Wee Eck's big moment. This is his moment to go down in

cannot, let a Yes vote fail.

I don't think he actually WANTS a Yes. Not really.

My theory is that his ideal is a very narrow No. Close enough that he
can use it as a stick to beat his preferred DevoMax out of Westminster,
but still a definite No, so that he doesn't have to actually deal with
the difficult and expensive reality of setting up all the machinery of
a country from scratch.

I wonder if Westminster politicians will have learnt anything from all
this?

I doubt it, few pollys that have any say on anything ever do.

They just do what they have decided to do and sometimes
that works like with Thatcher and sometimes it doesn’t, like
with Thatcher when she got the bums rush with the poll tax.

Which I'd say is that the policies of all recent governments allowing
the gap between the richest and poorest to widen dramatically

Since that has happened world wide, its unlikely to be
due to anything any particular group of pollys has done.

and the gap between the richest and average to widen dramatically
too - isn't actually what the majority of the population benefit from.

That's true in spades of house prices.
