Honesty is key from SNP

No matter the torturous route that took us here, Scotland is now in a more honest and clear place with regard to its relationship to Europe should the country vote for independence in the 2014 referendum.

Nicola Sturgeon is to be applauded for the manner in which she bowed to the inevitable and admitted that an independent Scotland would need to negotiate its position within Europe, and that those negotiations will probably be more complicated than the rather bland assurances the SNP has given until now.
