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).

So far as I can see, the only people opposed to devolution are rich landowners who want to grasp all they can; Orange-lodge Rangers fans who love to flap the Union flag and people who are not Scottish. There are bound to be others!

Thanks, love the little dig at Rangers fans.

Subtle eh? Somebody had better tell them that William of Orange was allied to the very Catholic Spanish! And that the Orange Lodge was not founded until the late 18th century and boosted by the Duke of Cumberland in his efforts to become King of the UK.

I was saying two different things at once there. I'll go with this. Somebody knows their stuff*.
