A bid by Labour to force a Yes/No referendum between Scottish independence or staying in the UK could be blocked on legal grounds, it was claimed today.

The level of incompetence shown by Wendy Alexander over this issue is the clearest indication of the quality of government we could expect if Labour ever got back into power in Scotland. She is becoming more of a liability every day.

The SNP did their homework and ensured the wording adhered to the legal necessities to allow a referendum which could not afterwards be discredited by Westminster.

Indeed they did. The odd thing I have seen over recent days however is a minority of supporters of Independence attacking others who wished to follow the proposals put originally on a referendum. We were labelled "Salmondistas" and indeed one, who, frequently implies he knows better than Salmond on most issues, critisised Salmond as a "victim of theft" for having lost his wits in not rising to Alexander's challenge.

It is interesting to learn more now about the actual legal position on what Alexander actually wanted to do and how little research she had carried out. But isn't it sad that some nationalists were willing to sink to ridiculing other nationalists in such a way and Salmond too when it is even more clear today that Salmond knew exactly what he was doing.
