Both sides of independence debate must be considered

Ian Bell's argument ("Any independence talk by the LibDems is falling on deaf ears", The Herald, September 21) is muddled to the point of confusion.

Liberal Democrats, elected or not, have as much right as anyone to get involved in the debate on Scotland’s future – including Scots who discuss this down the local pub every evening.

In one breath saying the LibDems have no right to demand answers on the independence argument while in the next saying the SNP do have serious questions to address will simply not wash.
