Labour's slippery offering to the people of Scotland

Article Abstract:

Scottish people are finding it very difficult to decide how to vote in the forthcoming referendum on devolution because the UK government has failed to provide them with all the information they require to make an informed choice. No details have been given about how a devolved Scottish parliament would operate, for example, and there are still considerable uncertainties surrounding taxation in Scotland. By omitting details of this kind, the government is showing that it does not really trust voters, and this in turn encourages voters not to trust the government.
