Scots deserve devo max option

IN the last Holyrood parliament, Labour, the LibDems and the Tories blocked an independence referendum because they feared a Yes vote.

Now, unable to resist a referendum, they want to block a "more powers" option in case of a Yes.

It is a curious approach to democracy, this notion that what voters want must be bad. Yet that is the corner these parties paint themselves into, by arguing against what Alex Salmond calls the people's "right to decide" on devo max.
