you'd think so, but will Westiminster get a choice?

Really depends on how we handle this Devomax business.

Faff it up, and it hands the SNP a massive electoral gimme for the next MSP elections, with potentially a massive mandate for a fresh referendum? (And we've set the precent of listening to the Scottish people now...)

Do it properly and devomax will take the sting out of the SNP's tail and we might never see another referendum.

But will the English MPs let the leadership do it properly...?

Interesting times (politically).
