MSPs outraged at plans for referendum on election day
The Deputy Prime Minister has united the SNP and Labour at Holyrood in condemnation of the proposal to hold a voting-system referendum on the same date as next year’s Scottish Parliament election.
Alex Salmond and his ministers were at one with Labour leader Iain Gray in saying the proposal -- said to have been agreed with no consultation with the Scottish Parliament -- showed a complete negation of the respect agenda for Westminster’s dealings with Holyrood.
