I Am Scottish

This is really a question but I need as many Scots as possible on here to see this. I have an essay for college and the essay question is "Is devolution good for Scotland's future?" We are obviously to convey our own opinion in this but I thought I should try to see some differing opinions to mine as I want away from Westminster. So if you feel that devolution is good/not enough/we have enough/all "power" should be at Westminster please tell me why. You can also answer this of course if you're from elsewhere and know what you're talking about (just for you Burnley123).

For me the question is less about power than it is economics. Independence makes sense from a national and democratic perspective but I have doubts as to whether an independent Scotland would better off. I agree with Krugman that you can't have a shared currency with different Governments and I do think North Sea oil is not what it was. Is that what you wanted Scottish Guy?
